Here are the listings for the Sunday Shows for January 20th, 2008. There are two Republican presidential candidates (Rudy and Mitt) and one Democrat (but he get's two shows).  The rest is dinosaur media talking heads, Dhimmicrat campaign operatives or Congressional Democrats.  Obviously the results of the South Carolina and Nevada contests will be a major topic, but it seems likely that they are more likely going to try to promote the upcoming current recession Depression. Below are the topics and guests announced for these programs. The programs are listed in the order they show in my area. NBC Meet The...

Some "best of" and canned stuff, plus Joe Lieberman, Ron Paul, Rudy, Obama, The Huckster, a sober Kennedy, the real Man of the Year, the founder of the volunteer organization that's been putting wreaths on veteran's headstones at Christmas time for over 15 years and a "Christian" uber-mega church pastor who thinks it's all about him (check out the front page of the web site for "his ministries" - his name is there 8 times and there are 9 pictures of his smiling face... but the name Jesus and the words "Christ" and "Christian" are nowhere to be seen). First...

I'm sticking with the new format, mostly because of the other demands on my time right now.  I want to make sure that at least you see the basics so that you can draw your own conclusions or do your own research.  When I get the chance I'll do the research on each show and as I get that done I'll repost that shows info on the thread with the links.It is almost all presidential politics, with some forays into steroids (Fox), Congressional military and intelligence battles (Fox, CNN) and the (queue the scary music) looming recession (ABC). The presidential...

Show by Show Preview Below are the topics and guests announced for these programs, starting with the Saturday shows.  My take on the "memes" that the shows are trying to push will come later after more research.  With each guest's name in those later posts will be a series of links that I found in a web search that helped me get a handle on who they are and what their likely positions will be when they are interviewed.  On the Saturday shows I'm posting my take on their memes based on their topics and VAST (and very cynical) knowledge...

I'm changing up the format slightly this week.  I'm going to post the raw data for the shows in order to beat the now early in the day Saturday shows.  Then, as I get each of the shows guests researched I'll repost that shows info on the thread with the links.  Also, please notice the 3 hour CSPAN Book TV interview with Newt on Sunday.  They do archive a stream on their web site, I believe, if you want to watch the main Sunday shows and still see this.
