From http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/mediabias/crsmemo52305.pdf

"An X in a cell indicates that we did not find any coverage during a show for the news event identified at the top of the table. Where we did find coverage during a particular show, we have noted the 'extent' of the coverage and, if possible, its general position in the show."

The 12 tables just mentioned are at http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/mediabias/crspt2memo52305.pdf .
