Who Had the Fairer Panel: Meet the Press or Fox News Sunday?

April 27th, 2008 2:43 PM

For a moment, let's step away from the commentary, per se, and focus on the commentators. Liberals love to chide Fox News for its alleged conservative bias. So why don't we see, when it comes to being fair and balanced, how this morning's Fox News Sunday panel stacked up against that of its main competitor, Meet the Press?

Here are the line-ups—you be the judge.

MEET THE PRESS

Host–Tim Russert

Panel

  • David Broder–Washington Post columnist
  • John Dickerson–Slate
  • Gwen Ifill–PBS
  • Andrea Mitchell–NBC
  • Richard Wolffe–Newsweek

FOX NEWS SUNDAY

Host–Chris Wallace

Panel

  • Brit Hume–FNC
  • Bill Kristol– Weekly Standard; NY Times columnist
  • Mara Liasson–NPR
  • Juan Williams–NPR

I'd say it isn't even close—let's hear what readers think.
