More on C-Span’s rightward tilt
In 2004, I studied C-Span’s “Washington Journal” and showed that it favored right-wing guests over progressive ones.
Now the Center for Economic and Policy Research has studied C-Span more broadly and showed that C-Span overwhelmingly favored conservative think tanks in its coverage last year.
C-Span shouldn’t be written off as a meaningless space holder on cable. It’s an important conduit of serious information. It shouldn’t favor right-wing ideas.
