at least demographically by viewers:
The general public has become more Democratic since 2006, and this is reflected in the audiences for leading TV news outlets. The audiences for CNN and MSNBC, which were heavily Democratic two years ago, have become even more so: fully 51% of CNN’s regular viewers are Democrats while only 18% are Republicans. MSNBC’s audience makeup is similar - 45% of regular viewers of MSNBC are Democrats, 18% are Republicans.
The regular audience for nightly network news also is now about two-to-one Democratic (45% vs. 22% Republican). In 2006, 40% of the regular viewers of nightly network news were Democrats compared with 28% who were Republicans.
The regular audience for the Fox News Channel continues to include more Republicans than Democrats. Currently, 39% of regular Fox News viewers are Republicans while 33% are Democrats; in 2006, the margin was 38% to 31%.
the people have spoken
"Regular viewers of The Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart are much more liberal than the public at large. More than a third of Colbert’s regular viewers (36%) describe their political views as liberal and 45% of regular Daily Show viewers say they are liberal. The audiences for these two shows are roughly equal in size; 19% watch The Colbert Report regularly or sometimes while 23% watch The Daily Show."
Interesting that 38% of Lou Dobbs viewers are conservative.
I watch CNN and I always feel likes its a republican bash fest. Im not worried about McCain loosing, Chuck Norris is supporting him and if it becomes a close race he will just roundhouse kick some more electoral votes into McCains column.
I am surprised at those CNN figures. I still consider CNN to be rather fair and moderate. They don’t have any political analysts that I think display any bias in a blatant way. Roland Martin sometimes does but that is about it.
