Why are Republicans outnumbering Democrats 3 to 1 on today's Sunday talk shows?

[Bleacher Creature]

Didn't we win on November 4th?

[opihimoimoi]

1. Guess who got the better connections to the MEDIA...?.. duh....LOL

[baldguy]

4. The word is "own"

[opihimoimoi]

9. Yup...thats the ultimate connection...They own the SOB Stations..MSNBC

FOX, and CNN.....and a whole bunch of print shit...Radio shit too...Rush don't get $400 MILLION to sit on his ass...

[Bicoastal]

2. Maybe cuz the important Democrats are busy actually getting stuff DONE right now?

What is the GOP supposed to do?

[Uzybone]

10. You are correct

Dems have no time to go on Sunday show and bloviate right now.

[gristy]

3. looks like it's 4:1

Meet The Press: Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI), Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL), T. Boone Pickens then a roundtable with Tom Friedman, Katty Kay, Tavis Smiley & Andrea Mitchell

ABC’s This Week: Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA) and a roundtable featuring Paul Krugman, Cokie Roberts, Sam Donaldson & George Will

5. You think GOP allies bought control of media in 80s and 90s so the left can be heard?

Nah - if we hadn't had an UNSPINNABLE event like Katrina, would the public have been allowed to see firsthand the incompetence and callousness of the right wing and its agenda? Nope. We'd be talking about President-elect Romney or Allen now.

[Warren Stupidity]

6. Oh that is what they always do.

It is perfectly fair. Heads I win, tails you lose. When the Republicans win control of Washington, then of course Republicans appear on the Sunday news fest to tell us how they will run things, and when Republicans lose control of Washington then of course Republicans appear on the Sunday Yaktaculars to tell us how we will run things.

[rucky]

7. They have to balance out the liberal bias

of reality.

[Doremus]

8. A prime example of the need for the fairness doctrine.

Fox and CNN are cable, but the major networks should be required to NOT be propagandists if they want to continue renting the people's broadcast frequencies.

Equal representation on news/opinion programs. Not an outrageous requirement. Actually, it's pretty much a no-brainer.

[doc03]

13. I remember years ago one company

could not own more than seven TV stations. Was there a limit on radio stations too? Was that part of the fairness Doctrine? I don't see how could go about regulating the political slant of each radio or TV talk show counting locals there must be hundreds of different talk shows. I think the consolidation of the media more than anything has caused the problem. What does Clear Channel own something like 2000 channels? Then you have GE one of the largest if not the largest defense contractor making big bucks from war and they own NBC, then the Repugs call it the liberal media.
The liberal media lie must be the biggest lie the Republicans have ever come up with.

11. Two Words: Media. Whores. /nt

[RedLetterRev]

12. Guess how fast we went to

Science Channel and HGTV (you know, Hers and Gays TeeVee :rofl:)

[CANDO]

14. God damned Librul media!

eom

[CK_John]

15. Because if you have 3 Dem's you would get 3 opinions where 3 Repug give 1 opinion. n/t

[OwnedByFerrets]

16. Because some things never change and some do.

[hvn_nbr_2]

17. Because Republicans own the media. nt

[Bad Thoughts]

18. They are out of work

And have a lot of time on their hands.

[glitch]

19. Because 3 Republicans = 1 Democrat. Has to do with relative brain power.

Fair is fair.

They bought the media specifically so that they could implement the 3:1 ratio, they were very disadvantaged before. Actually they still are but no one wants to tell them and further hurt their feelings. They are very insecure as it is, and dangerous when they feel threatened.

So smile and nod, and maybe even give them a pat on the head now and then, or a hug if they'll let you.

But for God's sake don't ever let them have power again.

[fed_up_mother]

20. Because they have nothing better to do!

[OHdem10]

21. Who runs the Country??????Why do we think they keep their

Mantra Loud and Clear__"This is a center-right country."

[TankLV]

22. You mean just like Democrats were always on the TV after the repukes won!

No - wait - that didn't happen either...

damn "librul" media!!!

[defendandprotect]

23. Why are you watching them, anyway --????

[Erin Elizabeth]

24. BECAUSE IT'S THEIR TURN TO DOMINATE THE MEDIA

FOR ONCE!!! Duh!!!

:sarcasm:

[dkofos]

25. What a waste of time
