Politically You Are What You Watch
Politically you are what you watch. YES: Republicans and Democrats do have different TV viewing habits.

Gee, I must be the exception to the rule because I prefer The Moderate Voice and its interactive services. Who “watches” TV anymore?
I am bemused to find that I am a mix on the list.
I love 30 Rock and don’t watch the Middle
I dont watch reality shows
I do like ‘older skewing’ shows like NCIS and The Mentalist.
I like Colbert but don’t watch either Leno or Letterman much.
Typical for me, a moderate mix.
Doesn’t work for me either.
I initially thought the Fringe was a Rep political show and the Biggest Loser was a Dem show.
In the end, we all love good shows like Seinfeld, 30 Rock and The Apprentice.
Okay, I thought I would fall into the ‘liberal crowd’. Alas, I am an avid viewer of History Channel, Discover, et. al. I guess I’m moderate as well. (I happen to hate most reality shows, though. Although I can get into The Smoking Gun shows quite often).
I like the CBS shows they list, but I’ve always liked mysteries. I prefer them to action shows. I also watch a lot of History Channel and Science Channel. But my favorites right now are Bones, Fringe, Warehouse 13 and Eureka.
HATE reality shows except for the likes of Republican Deadliest Catch, Storm Chasers, Forensic Files and Dirty Jobs. Gritty documentary-style work-related reality shows on cable index really strongly with conservative Republicans.
WTF Blue collar liberal union members don’t like work-related shows?
I must really be an outlier. I don’t watch anything they listed except Colbert and Stewart (when I can stay up long enough – hardly ever – or catch a rerun the next day – again, hardly ever). Whimper.
My television watching habits don’t say much beyond “parent”.
You can watch Colbert and Stewart online at Comedy Central’s website. They imbed commercials, so it is free.
