Democratic Primary Candidates and TV News Appearances

Deep Modem Mom posted this link recently, which I bookmarked. Candidate supporters always think somebody else's candidate is getting all the face time while their own is being ignored. Is it true?

Here is how it looks today in total 2007 hours on both network and cable news shows:

Democrats (28 hours):

1-Richardson 5.5
2-Biden 4.5
3-Obama 4.5
4-Dodd 4
5-Edwards 3.5
6-Clinton 3
7-Kuchinich 2
8-Gravel 1


Republicans (33 hours):

1-McCain 6
2-Huckabee 5
3-Romney 3.5
4-Giuliani 3.5
5-Hunter 3.5
6-Tancredo 3
7-Brownback 2
8-F Thompson 2
9-Paul 2
10-Gilmore 1.5
11-T Thompson 1



I will post this thread to my DU Journal and update it every now and then throughout the primary race.

Edit: I have to find the original data to do this. The NYT is citing National Journal.
