Media Matters finds that the guests on Sunday morning political shows are overwhelmingly white, male and conservative. In the first six months of 2013, white men made up between 58 and 66 percent of guests on ABC’s This Week, CBS’ Face the Nation, NBC’s Meet the Press, FNC’s Fox News Sunday, and CNN’s State of the Union. The study also includes gender and racial breakdowns of solo interview subjects, journalists, and panelists.
