The Nation | Blog | The Daily Outrage | GOP TV | Ari Berman: "These two charts (here and here) by Media Matters deserve more attention, for they overwhelmingly refute the ridiculous notion of 'liberal media' dominance on cable TV news. Here are the explosive findings: During inauguration day coverage, Republicans and conservatives outnumbered progressives nineteen to seven on Fox, ten to one on CNN and thirteen to two on MSNBC. On prime-time, the trend continued. Conservatives outnumbered liberals twenty-five to four on Fox News, seven to one on CNN and nine to five on MSNBC. When the occasional Democrat did actually appear, he or she was usually paired against a rival Republican, whereas most conservatives appeared solo or with fellow ideologues. Even a panel discussion with CNN's Carlos Watson included four Republicans, and only one Democrat and one swing voter."
