But can't we get beyond this simple dichotomy? There are more points on the
continuum than simply "like Fox News" or "paragon of journalistic
integrity".  The defenders of MSNBC have to stop relying on the "FN is worse
than us" defense - we know they are, but that is irrelevant. But media
critics need to stop arguing that because MSNBC falls short of the
journalistic ideal they are really nothing but a variant of FN.
