Hey @ABC @NBCNews @CBSNews @CNN - we are on to you - how about if you #MakeItFair - you are NOT helping

I am so sick and tired of the news in general being overloaded by right wing know nothing men....(and I don't even watch them!). This is one thing that perhaps with enough pressure can begin to change (I know, silly optimist!).

Seeing it laid out like that is an eye-opener for sure.

6. but Fox News isn't a real news channel

I would be interested in seeing these percentages with Fox taken out of the equation. Admittedly, I never watch Fox, so maybe I'm wrong in my assumption that they don't have Democrats on.

I don't mean to minimize the problem of unfair and unbalanced coverage, but Fox's inclusion makes me wonder about how applicable these percentages are to actual news channels.

7. Their owners will get right on it!

I'm sure they will be upset their pols only get 70% of guest spots.

8. You have the option of turning them off.

9. I don't watch them - and it is not about me/us here at DU. It is about

the propaganda they spew at those who DO watch and swallow the right wing crap

10. Again, there's some logic to use before jumping to anger on this...

I'm reposting my response from the first time the "outrage" popped up abt this:

It was primary season but only for the Republicans, and primaries are generally held early in the week (which is why Sundays make sense for these interviews). I don't see a vast conspiracy here if u look at it logically.

I bet if u looked at Feb-June 2004 you'd see the same #'s of white males, but they'd be 70% Democratic. 2008 would have been slightly less white and male obviously, but I'd bet the D/R split was pretty even.

Except on Fox News of course.

It's the easy way out to immediately get hopping mad at something instead of taking just a second to examine it critically.

11. You must be joking. or watching TV on a different planet!

[DURHAM D]

12. If you aren't "hopping mad" you aren't thinking.

[uppityperson]

13. Women and minorities don't count? Only Dem/repub? I should not be upset about women/minorities?

Golly jeepers. I guess I didn't take a secon to examine this critically. Thank you SO much for doing so.

You miss the point.

[Wounded Bear]

14. "You miss the point."

I'm pretty sure he hit the point he was aiming at.

[Skittles]

15. CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!
