(70,501 posts)3. I just walked by to turn off the TV as Graham was talking about Benghazi
If it wasn't so serious and millions of people were not hurt by their actions
it would almost be comical.
God Damn it Graham had 2 Sec. of States, the head of the CIA, and many others
in front of hearings for weeks but he keeps saying that he didn't get his questions
answered. Why the f*** didn't he ask his important questions then?

Could not handle McShame and Asahat Graham in one show. Disappointing that Face the Nation wasn't a bit more balanced however. But Sunday talking heads are all pretty pathetic frankly- except for UP which is alway smart and thoughtful.

Nothing's changed.
Every Sunday morning, some of the country's most powerful and influential figures enact one of the most hallowed rituals in American politics: policymakers, government officials, journalists, and other newsmakers appear as guests on the network talk shows to hold forth on the pressing issues of the day. The shows -- ABC's This Week, CBS' Face the Nation, NBC's Meet the Press, and Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday -- serve as an invaluable forum for the nation's agenda-setters. It is on these Sunday shows where conventional wisdom is formed and the terms of debate are set.
In order to assess the balance of voices on these programs, Media Matters for America classified every guest appearing on these programs during 2005 and 2006 (over 2,000 appearances in all) by their party affiliation and ideology (see Methodology section for details). This report follows on a previous study Media Matters released a year ago that analyzed the Sunday shows dating back to 1997.
The results show that the right has a distinct advantage in determining the shape of the debate on Sunday morning. During the years of the 109th Congress, Republicans and conservatives far outnumbered their Democratic and progressive counterparts on the Sunday-morning talk shows.
Nothing's changed.
