Fox News’ Viewers are ‘Balanced!’
According to a new study from The Pew Research Center (.pdf) Fox News’ viewers are the most evenly divided among Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Fox News really is balanced after all! I’m surprised by CNN’s numbers, however. I would have thought CNN’s numbers would have looked more like Fox’s.
CNN: 51% Democrats, 18% Republicans, 23% independents
MSNBC: 45% Democrats, 18% Republicans, 27% independents
Fox News: 33% Democrats, 39% Republicans, 22% independents

C-SPAN’s Election Bus in Austin
C-SPAN’s Election Bus is coming to Austin tomorrow
Altough C-SPAN itself may not be as exciting as a VH1 Behind the Music special, the C-SPAN Election Bus is a great insight into what goes on behind the TV.
The Bus came to RRHS last year and several of Ms. Esler’s AP-Government students were actually on Television and asked live questions to an expert in Washington. It was an amazing experience. Right afterwards, I took a class onto the bus for a guided tour.
If you have the time, it’s worth visiting!
(And if school were in session you’d get extra credit just for going.)
