Tipping the scales: Cable news channels dedicate more coverage to RNC's scheduled programming during peak hours than to DNC's
Summary: On September 2 and September 3, MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News each dedicated more on-air time -- significantly more in most cases -- to official Republican convention programming during the most-watched portions of their coverage than each channel dedicated to official convention programming during the same times on comparable nights of the Democratic National Convention.

1. Well, Doh....that was obvious. My question - when these glaring inequalities are noted, what to do?

With politicians, you have the media (sometimes, and only with Dems, it seems) to ask the questions. When the media misbehaves and starts exhibiting obvious favoratism, who do they answer to? This is a very frustrating thing to me, and it has bothered me for year.....ideas? We can flood them with emails and phone calls, but so what? Where is the watchdog organization to keep the media in line?

3. Is this not news?

Why isn't the news talking about this?

Lets talk about a biased media and show these numbers....and ask the people, "just who is the media biased in favor of?"
