Bias of America's Anchors

[Wilfredo Ledezma]

Interesting chart on how each party views media personalities...

Harris Poll asked TV viewers, both Democrat and Republican, to name their favorite and least liked news personalities. The results of the survey, crunched and displayed on our chart, are fascinating.

Obviously, Russert has since passed...

Few things that surprised me...

1) I had no idea that many republicans liked Charlie Gibson.

2) Greta Van Susteran may be the most unbiased anchor I can recall, I'm surprised she's disliked by both parties.

3) lol @ Limbaughs, this is probably the type of thing that fuels him...

4) No love for Alan Colmes?

Omitted:

* Rachel Maddow (obviously Republicans don't like her)

* Joe Scarborough, Neal Cavuto, Michael Savage, Brit Hume, Geraldo Rivera...

So Brian Williams, Anderson Cooper and Charlie Gibson are all well-liked by both sides.

Interesting.

also, the chart forgot Glenn Beck too, obvious conservative

So is Shepard Smith...surprisingly.

I wasn't going to consider that sliver of blue "well-liked" but you sure can.

The whole fourth-estate thing is kind of a liberal notion to begin with.

Freedom of the press was founded by a bunch of radical revolutionaries. Fuck 'em.

Larry King is the most hated news personality by Republicans? I don't get that one at all. Are his questions too tough?

Where's Jim Lehrer and Katty Kay when you need 'em?

Yeah, I was surprised by that too. Larry's a dinosaur, I'd have thought Olberman would be the most hated by Repubs.

It's hard to hate monkeys.

I'm kind of surprised by Cooper. I don't expect anyone to hate the guy since he's incredibly milk toast on politics but I don't get the love. Maybe it's a gay thing. Also, I would have expected Hannity and O'Really's positive numbers to be more like Oblerman's only the opposite color.

Anderson Cooper's gay?

I honestly didn't know that.
