From Media Matters (and Atrios for the pointer) comes this description of "just another day" in your So-Called Liberal Media:
Media Matters for America inventoried all guests who appeared on FOX News, CNN, and MSNBC during the channels' January 20 inauguration coverage. Between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, Republican and conservative guests and commentators outnumbered Democrats and progressives 19 to 7 on FOX *, 10 to 1 on CNN (not including a Republican-skewed panel featuring Ohio voters), and 13 to 2 on MSNBC. Moreover, the rare Democrat or progressive guest usually appeared opposite conservatives, whereas most Republican and conservative guests and commentators appeared solo or alongside fellow conservatives.
Follow the link to see the complete table from which the numbers come. Bob Somerby also follows media bias on a regular basis, and one of the funny things lately is that in order to find any kind of balance, any coherent version of the liberal point of view on most issues, you've got to look for the token liberal on Fox. The other networks don't even seem to bother much anymore.
