According to the media watchdog group, “(W)hite men make up 41 percent of total guests on ‘Up with Chris Hayes’ (according to data from the U.S. Census, white men make up roughly 39 percent of the U.S. population). In contrast, CBS’ ‘Face the Nation,’ Fox’s ‘Fox News Sunday,’ NBC’s ‘Meet the Press,’ CNN’s ‘State of the Union,’ and ABC’s ‘This Week’ host white men 66 percent, 64 percent, 64 percent, 67 percent, and 61 percent of the time, respectively.”
