Otherwise, they would probably have swung farther to the right already. If they didn't have a liberal audience, they would be in even worse shape. Their problem now, in my opinion, with hosts like Rachel and Chris Hayes, is that they are too "heavy thinkers" for the average American viewer, including those that call themselves "liberals".
