The 'journalism' we deserve?

Wishing Upon A Star: E.D. Kain pines for better conservative journalism and Fox 2.0 (Hat tip: Andrew Sullivan):
I would love a more reasoned, measured conservative journalism to take root – a Fox 2.0 that abandoned all the antics and dishonesty and stated its case for conservatism forcefully and cogently, but I’m not at all sure there’s a market for that – or at least a large enough market for that. And therein lies the rub: the point of Fox may not be to create an emotionally driven television station, but the market has spoken, and Beckian hyperbole is what the people want. And so it’s what the people will get.
Oy. But let's hope this proves wrong eventually.
