I thought the media was supposed to be liberal?

This is interesting.
In 2006, Media Matters conducted a study on Sunday political talk shows, finding that “Republicans and conservatives have been offered more opportunities to appear on the Sunday shows — in some cases, dramatically so.” From 2001 to 2005, conservative guests outnumbered progressives “by 58 percent to 42 percent.”
It could be because the shows look for guests more to the party in power, so this could change. Or they could be counting Fox News which would definitely slant the numbers.
