Liberal/Conservative News Pundit Comparison

Just for the record I wanted to try and figure out what the Conservative/Liberal ratio is for Fox News and CNN to dispel the myth that CNN is liberal network and Fox News is “fair and balanced.” It’s not a complete list, and anyone can feel free to add some to the list, but I doubt the general ratio will change.

Conservative Commentators on FOX News:

1.Sean Hannity

2.Bill O’Reilly

3.John Gibson

4.Brit Hume

5.Neil Cavuto (“You were sickening then, you’re sickening now.” – Referring to anti-war protesters, “Now may I suggest you take your column and shove it?” [7] – Response to Paul Krugman after he criticized Cavuto for his comments on anti-war protesters, “Trust me, all this fuss over freedoms would fade in a mushroom-cloud moment if there were another attack on our soil.” – Referring to NSA phone record collecting, “I know I’m a money guy here, but I think the tragic events of the Southeast remind you that money is important, but living is pretty important too.” [9] – Referring to the tornado hitting Enterprise High School )

6.Steve Doocy (Fox and Friends)

7.Brain Killmeade (Fox and Friends)

9.Brian Kilmeade (Fox and Friends Weekend): during an interview with actress and anti-war activist Janeane Garofalo, Kilmeade berated her opinions, saying ” Saddam must love you.”

1. ????

“Look at the op-ed pages. Compare the number of conservative columnists with liberal columnists. Listen to talk radio. Count the number of nationally syndicated liberal talk-show hosts. Watch the cable TV talk shows. Count the number of liberal and conservative pundits. Conservatives far outnumber liberals.”

“Unlike BBC’s network of reporters and bureaus, CNN International makes extensive use of affiliated reporters that are local to, and often directly affected by, the events they are reporting. The effect is a more immediate, less detached style of on-the-ground coverage. This has done little to stem criticism, largely from Middle Eastern nations, that CNN International reports news from a pro-American perspective. This is a marked contrast to domestic criticisms that often portray CNN as having a “liberal” or “anti-American” bias.”
