i doubt that. also, if that can be proven... why would you base the political orientation of the media based solely off the guests lists and think tank sourcing?

how about including the reporters who frame the argument and the editors who pick which stories run and which do not? guest lists really only pertain to cable news shows. how about newspapers? magazines? network news? guest lists are an easily quantifiable method, but cannot represent the media as it is experienced by citizens in totality.

there is a lot of compelling evidence that contradicts your assessment. i'm sure we could cite sources on TFP all day, but that only illustrates that it's not resolved as you'd like to think.
