If it’s Sunday, it’s still conservative.

In 2006, Media Matters conducted a study on Sunday political talk shows, finding that “Republicans and conservatives have been offered more opportunities to appear on the Sunday shows — in some cases, dramatically so.” From 2001 to 2005, conservative guests outnumbered progressives “by 58 percent to 42 percent.” Atrios notes that tomorrow’s shows will also be dominated by conservative guests:

7 Appearances by Republican current elected officeholders
3 Appearances by Democratic current elected officeholders.
2 Appearances by Republican former elected officeholders.
1 Appearance by a Bush Cabinet Secretary.
T. Boone Pickens
Ted Turner.

1. I remember reading FAIR studies with similar results...

I really ought to read their website more often.

2. 363-3

I believe that was the FAIR count on Pro-war vs. Anti-war representation on the 24 hour news channels in the months preceding this disaster of a war

Wesley Clark was one of them. I am not sure who the other two were.

3. Wow. They had a good analysis of NPR too - how it's not liberal biased at all.

I don't know what's behind it, but NPR has gone much more conservative since that study even. CPB? The money they got from the McDonald's widow (Kroc? I had hoped that would make them more independent).
