This has been going on forever, so why they even had to do a stupid survey to prove it is a mystery to me and total waste of time. I NEVER watch those shows anyway because I have no interest in looking at/listening to the same old, white Repuklican men, all speaking the same veiled bigoted language, they have on nearly every single week. The left/progressives need to step up and make a huge stink about this or it will never change.

McCain, McCain, McCain seems like he is on those stupid shows every week. The Newt was Speaker how long ago, but still still looked to as an intellectual heavyweight for some reason. What a sad state of affairs.

But now?

Contrary to Mitt Romney’s claims of vast left wing media conspiracy, a new study by FAIR has found that 70% of Sunday news show guests are Republicans.

A study of the network Sunday morning news shows by Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) found an extreme Republican bias in ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox. According to FAIR, 70% of the interview guests were Republicans. Despite the fact that Democrats control both the White House and the Senate, 166 Republicans were interviewed on these programs. The programs interviewed just 70 Democrats. Eighty six percent of the Sunday morning guests were male, and 92% of guests were also white.

Managing the news According to Adolf Hitler "The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over." This idea is consistent with the principle

Experts of Propaganda fool most of the people most of the time but not all the people all the time

Should call them the Sunday Morning Rich Old Folks Chat Shows.

All old Trickle-Downers, all the time.

Are you asking what the problem is with limiting Sun tv shows to this small group of people? Or did you miss the point of the article?

Especially when it over-represents the common demographic of those in power. The national discourse shouldn't be limited to the views of people who are overwhelmingly white, old and male. It seems like common sense to me. Why do you assume it doesn't matter?

He sure looks white to me.

categories since then.

When I was a kid, there was negroid, caucasoid, and mongoloid. A gazillion different races have sprouted since then. Nothing to do with biology. It's all politics.

It's the reason why I find most political shows on Sundays to be pretty much unwatchable.

The excuse when Republicans are in charge is to present those who are in charge.

and I haven't missed them at all.

prior to that, I was a loyal viewer. I'm sure those idiot news programs have lost a lot of viewers. Probably the stupid ones are left.

with the Administration's position on the NSA?
