You Will Not Be Surprised

Sunday political talk shows are still the playground of Republicans.
For the second year in a row, conservative voices dominate the broadcast networks’ politically driven Sunday newsmaker shows despite the Democrats taking control of Congress in January, a media watchdog group charges.
Media Matters for America held a press conference Tuesday in Washington to hit the high points in its latest report, titled “If It’s Sunday, It’s Still Conservative.” The complete report is available at www.SundayShowReport.com.
The group said ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos” was the only show to have improved its overall balance since the last report but that the debate still “skewed to the right.”
The group characterized CBS’s “Face the Nation With Bob Schieffer” and NBC’s “Meet the Press With Tim Russert,” as well as “Fox News Sunday,” as “dominated by more right-leaning voices” since the last report.
I know this won’t make him popular at the company picnic, but this sure seems like something Keith Olbermann should talk about regularly….
