" ... Across all four shows over the eight month period, there were just 36 appearances by women during one-on-one interviews compared to 228 men. And of those 36, 17 were Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN). Meanwhile, there 242 appearances by white guests, compared to just 15 by African-Americans (seven of those being Hermain Cain), four by Arab-Americans, and three by Latinos."

So, basically almost HALF of the of the Women and African-American one-on-one interviews were snagged by REPUBLICANS Bachmann and Cain.

Grrr.
