The weblog Think Progress reported that, in what will be its first broadcast on November 12 since Democrats gained control of Congress and Donald H. Rumsfeld resigned as defense secretary, NBC's Meet the Press is scheduled to feature two non-Democratic senators who have strongly supported the war in Iraq -- Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, who, although pledging to caucus with the Democrats, ran for re-election as an independent following his loss in the Connecticut Democratic primary.

Yet when Republicans won control of Congress in the 1994 midterm elections, the guest list for the first Meet the Press following that election included then-Sens. Phil Gramm (R-TX) and Alfonse D'Amato (R-NY), and then-House Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt (MO). As Media Matters for America has documented, conservative voices have significantly outnumbered progressive voices on Meet the Press during the Clinton and Bush administrations.
