"I would love to see a list of all the primetime shows during sweeps, and which audiences they appeal to."

Me too. From this TiVo press release, they seem to be intimating that Nielsen doesn't capture this kind of data. I would be curious if that's actually true. And, if it's not true, then I would love to see the data points that Nielsen collects with respect to the viewer's political ideology and what programs they watch or don't watch.

I think what would also be interesting would then examine what kinds of products are being marketed to programs with heavy GOP/Conservative viewers and then to the heavy DNC/Liberal viewers.

I would also love to see the breakout on Letterman, Nightline, all the evening news broadcasts and the View.

On the other hand, from a societal point of view, and from a security/strength point of view, the division of our country on political lines is killing us.

I’d hate to see the media get into making “conservative” and “liberal” TV shows, it’s bad enough we seem to have our own unique news outlets giving us our own unique news.

I don’t WANT American to be two countries. I want an America where I can vehemently disagree with my liberal buddy, and then sit down and watch a good TV show without it turning into a political battle.
