No, really. They’ve done studies.

Apparently, I don’t watch enough TV to vote.
I haven’t even heard of some of those shows.
I watch The View, Oprah, Countdown, and Hardball, and I’m voting Obama!
Wow, it works!
No LOST? No Heroes? No Burn Notice (best show on TV starring Bruce Friggin’ Campbell)?
These predictions are bunk! I demand a recount!
Also, how do “Project: Runway” watchers swing?
c-span/turner classic movies/food network[damn that rachel ray got man hands..check it out]
comedy central-but alas-they’ll be takin my cable away to pay for that non-english speaking dude in the next bed-que-sera sera
Hey the smartest show on TV fell out on the Repub side.
You don’t say ass you say buns,
Like kiss my buns or you’re a buns-hole
Who does Two and 1/2 Men fans vote for? That’s what I want to know.
That question doesn’t seem grammatically correct, but screw it. Youz guys are smart ‘nough to figger tout.
Let’s see. I watch “South Park” on occasion, “Deadliest Catch” every chance I get and none of the others. So according to the LA Times I should lean Democrat which is soooooo not happening.
I never watch anything but catch-wrestling videos. And films of fluffy bunnies.
Who am I gonna vote for?
Scrubs? The inherent sexism of Dr. Cox’s calling JD by girls’ names would probably tend to push it toward the Obama end of the spectrum, I figger.

Also, how do “Project: Runway†watchers swing?
I think swing is the operative word there. NTTAWWT.
Stupid fucking “reporters” and “researchers.” How about who I’d vote for since I watch “Dexter” and “Supernatural?” Good looking serial killers? GOddamn waste of everyone’s time…
Obviously, there is a Neilson equivalent of a Bradley Effect going on.
Hey, I watch Dr. Who voraciously, but not just for the marvelous plotting, groovy aliens, and marvy special effects, IYKWIMAITYD.
But they only covered cable shows, and who watches those? I get my Dr. Who fix from PBS reruns and Netflix.
I haven’t even heard of those other shows except for South Park.
I’m a diehard “Deadliest Catch” guy, but I’d sooner chew a jumbo roll of tinfoil than vote for Da Lawd.
if you’re a tv measurement company yeah I guess you would think tv programming is driving the correlation but the data doesn’t show that unless you predicate your analysis with the assumption that tv shows are supposed to not have a political skew which I doubt Nielsen is actually doing but the reporter is retarded and without a quantification of the correlation it’s just not interesting cause well duh anyone can throw a bunch of data at the wall and look at the pretty patterns
I watch a little Cash Cab, and a lotta Deadliest Catch. One’s sposedly pub and one’s sposedly dem. Never have spent even a minute on any of the rest of the lot. I guess I’ve fucked up their demographics. Again.
the assumption that tv shows are supposed to not have a political skew
Anyone who has ever watched Law and Order knows you can’t make that assumption. :P
The other problem I see in the premise is that political affiliation is a subset of the real division, that between the blue/white collar, collage educated/workingman, office/field, silver spoon/medium income, minority/white, pro-military/US apologist, introvert/extrovert, gay/straight/bi(confused), young/old/really really really old, married/single, urban/rural, ad infinitum societal tensions in which political affiliation is swallowed whole and dropped as a turd composed of a whole spectrum of input but declared dominant. Because of the stench, I guess. And the nuance
Ummm, that is…what a load of CRAP!
There has to be some meta-narrative that explains why Dems are so deeply invested in “I Love New York”, which could challenge any programming in the history of television as being the worst programming.
One from column A, one from column B, and none from column C. Like lee, the first poster, I’ve never heard of most of these shows.
Never question the findings of genuine sciencticians.
I wonder, really, how much the content of the shows really contributes to the alleged finding, and how much is the time slot? Did they control for DVR ownership?
Nothing but “Life Goes On – The Complete First Season” dvd for me.
Hope! Change! Corky!
Also, I am suspicious of this throwing out of sports shows. I want to know the findings of the whole soccer/football, hockey/basketball, baseball/golf, lacrosse/pole dancing, texas holdum/nascar dynamic, and what that tells us about our fellow Americans.
Obama might find such information useful in the coming year.
I don’t know about the shows as such, but I can tell you I just checked out HULU and Baracky has a couple of campaign commercials embedded in the stuff I sampled. But oh, Repubs are spending too much on Sarah Palin’s clothes and such, don’t you know.
