The New York Times had a story on Sunday entitled: "On the Sunday Morning Talk Shows, a Rather Familiar Cast of Characters" It mainly talks about how certain Senators - e.g., McCain and Graham -- are booked at much higher rate than other Senators Anyway, it includes a graphic that totals all appearances by all Senators and, guess what they found? Here goes:
Of 641 total appearances by senators since 2010, 369 were by Republicans, 247 were by Democrats and 25 were by independents (22 of those by Joseph I. Lieberman.)
It's even worse if you think about the lack of progressive voices on these shows. Pat Leahy has only been on 6 times. Sheldon Whitehouse has never been on. Tea partiers, surprise, surprise, have been on a LOT. Liberal media my ass.
