Well yeah, the News Hour is "marketed" (the quotes signifying that it's not marketed very aggressively) as serious stuff for serious people. But most of the shows that don't approach that level of high-minded tedium are looking more & more like O'Reilly - lots of shouting, posturing, testosterone. I can't imagine why anyone would want to watch the Lehrer show - it's narcotically dull, though without the euphoria of narcotics.
