Conservatives Ruled The Airwaves on Inauguration Day
1/21/2005
Novachild was complaining about this yesterday, and here's the evidence:
Between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, Republican and conservative guests and commentators outnumbered Democrats and progressives 19 to 7 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.Unfortunately, I don't get CSPAN 2, which covered the protests for some time. I also no longer get Free Speech TV, an excellent station on Dish Network that airs some pretty heady leftist/anarchist material. Those of you that do are fortunate, and very blessed indeed.
