Random stuff about liberal media.

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.

if they wanted it to be fair and balanced, third parties would get media attention too.

If he needs help in his home because he's disabled or elderly, or if he wants the state to help him pay to go into a nursing home, I'm his gal!
Pretty liberal work, huh? Conservative media loves to tell the horror stories, but the good we do is relegated to a paragraph on page 10!
