Thanks for any feedback.

During the eight years of the Bush presidency, the facts showed that Republican guests dominated the airwaves on the influential television news shows. Republicans were also far more likely to be on by themselves with no opposing view to rebut them. The excuse the media gave to us was that Republicans were the party in power, so naturally deserved to dominate the airwaves. Oddly, when Bill Clinton was president, Republicans also had a numerical advantage on the TV news. The excuse the media gave then was that Republicans controlled Congress. Now, in the first month of the Obama presidency, Republicans have still had an overwhelming advantage on TV news shows, despite being a small minority in Congress and having lost the presidency. However, they still rule the airwaves, it seems. The only excuse left now is that the media is in the tank for the Republican Party.
