Media Matters for America inventoried the coronation guests on Fox, CNN, and MSNBC and found -- surprise, surprise --Republican and conservative guests and commentators outnumbered Democrats and progressives 17 to 6 on FOX, 10 to 1 on CNN (not including a Republican-skewed panel featuring Ohio voters), and 13 to 2 on MSNBC. Moreover, the rare Democrat or progressive guest usually appeared opposite conservatives, whereas most Republican and conservative guests and commentators appeared solo or alongside fellow conservatives.But check out their graph. It's illuminating.
Maybe you should take some of your hard-earned dollars and donate to Media Matters. I'm considering it, as I'm considering yanking my membership to KQED, the local NPR station.
