MSNBC - Count the Pundit Parity Contest
In the interest of determining if there is actually a pro-Obama bias (as the Repukes and corporate media overlords would have you believe), I have decided that it might be informative for all here to actually count the ratio of McCain/Repuke pundits vs. Obama/Democrat pundits on the major news networks. There appears to be an imbalance in pundit parity during the daytime hours moreso than in the evening.

Just today on MSNBC from the hours of 10 - 1:30 pm EST, I have counted 1 clear pro-Obama person vs. 7 pro-McCain persons...Andrea Mitchell's show accounts for a large portion of this disparity by having three McCain campaign operatives vs. no Obama operatives.

So, let's start rolling threads on all the networks and keep a pundit count on all the major news networks (except for Faux, which is a lost cause)...

1. Conservatives Will Argue
That pro-McCain people get labeled as such, while pro-Obama people claim to be nuetral.

Conservatives think CNN is liberal. They also think Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric were unfair to Palin.

2. Well, the facts put a lie to their crap. If we can count the McCain vs. Obama ops...
...then we would have hard evidence to shut up their pro-liberal media bias propaganda.

I can tell you solidly that only ONE Obama campaign operative has appeared this morning and early afternoon on MSNBC today, while 3 McCain ops have been given ample screen time. Essentially these McCain ops have been on by themselves and are allowed to twist questions by the MSNBC "reporters" to suit their purposes.
