| Iron Eagle | Posted – 11/6/2007 12:27:29 PM | show profile If It's Sunday, It's Conservative: An analysis of the Sunday talk show guests on ABC, CBS, and NBC, 1997 - 2005 Executive Summary The Sunday-morning talk shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC are where the prevailing opinions are aired and tested, policymakers state their cases, and the left and right in American politics debate the pressing issues of the day on equal ground. Both sides have their say and face probing questions. Or so you would think. In fact, as this study reveals, conservative voices significantly outnumber progressive voices on the Sunday talk shows. Media Matters for America conducted a content analysis of ABC's This Week, CBS' Face the Nation, and NBC's Meet the Press, classifying each one of the nearly 7,000 guest appearances during President Bill Clinton's second term, President George W. Bush's first term, and the year 2005 as either Democrat, Republican, conservative, progressive, or neutral. The conclusion is clear: Republicans and conservatives have been offered more opportunities to appear on the Sunday shows - in some cases, dramatically so. media matters |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 11/6/2007 1:16:46 PM | show profile Kinda like how Olberloon looses to BOR. Every night. For years. Lobo - I think I've proved my point. You are at the point of being institutionalized. You and your parrot are truly in need of an exorcism! |

| Iron Eagle | Posted – 11/6/2007 3:09:04 PM | show profile lobo - all the insane responses on planet earth will never alter the fact that you and your parrot Olby are sick to the bone - Who would spend day after day on one post - one subject unless they were prepping themselves for lockup. It's disgusting. There have been ample posts leading you away from the weirdness and like a moose running into traffic you and your bug infested parrot would rather have a life threatening collision than change the subject. Neither one of you have little understanding of the limited subject matter you chew on leaving the both of you to appear mentally challenged. |
| newfrickinshow | Posted – 11/6/2007 3:19:09 PM | show profile Frank=Giuliani Just as Rudy answers any question and problem with 9/11, Franklobo answers every question and problem with "Bill gets higher ratings than Keith!" Q: A new study indicates an apparent conservative bias on Sunday Morning TV shows. What's with that? A: Bill-O beats Keith. Q: A former acting attourney general went to a military base to determine if waterboarding is torture. By subjecting himself to it. He said yes, under any circumstances it is torture and is illegal. Do you agree that waterboarding is torture? A: Bill, number one for eight years! Q: A sheriff in Texas during the Reagan administration was sentenced to ten years in prison gaining confessions through waterboarding in the EXACT same fashion detainees are being waterboarded in Guantanamo Bay. Precedent has been established and what does that say of the legality of the "coercive interrogation" used by the Bush Administration? A: Bill O'Reilly, number one at 8PM! Q: What's 5+3? A: Bill averages 3 times Keith's daily ratings! |

| Iron Eagle | Posted – 11/6/2007 4:24:03 PM | show profile Olby - you're an insult to life itself. Here's a suggestion. Go through all off your posts and print them out and take them to an eight grader from your neighbourhood and have them read allowed. If they start laughing at the grammar and infantile reasoning promise us you'll never return! If they think you're a genius then you've been talking to a toddler. |
