Study: Sunday Talk Shows Have Conservative, White, Male Skew
A new study by the group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, or FAIR, has found the television network Sunday morning news shows have a distinct conservative, white and male skew. During a recent eight-month period, 70 percent of partisan-affiliated guests given one-on-one interviews were Republican, 86 percent were male, and 92 percent were white.

Right and Early
Sunday morning shows are GOP TV
By Peter Hart
If the Sunday morning TV chat shows seem like a sea of Republican politicians and conservative spinners lately, it’s not your imagination.
While you might expect to see a lot of Republican candidates and their surrogates in the thick of a Republican primary contest, the four Sunday morning talk shows—ABC’s This Week, NBC’s Meet the Press, CBS’s Face the Nation and Fox News Sunday—have been extraordinarily friendly terrain for the right, as a new FAIR study documents.
Evaluating the guest lists for the eight months from June 2011 through February 2012, FAIR found a distinct conservative skew in both one-on-one interview segments and roundtable discussions.
On November 6, Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer introduced his show as featuring a “cross-section of Republicans”—turning the discussion over to surrogates for Republican presidential candidates and various party operatives.
