Smart Politics takes an interesting look at how often U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann's getting the look from cable TV.
Bachmann has thus substantially increased her national profile from averaging one national cable television news interview every 16.6 days in 2008 to one appearance every 9.1 days thus far in 2009.
In addition to the increasing number of national cable television appearances, there has also been a notable shift in the networks on which she is appearing.
In 2008, only half of the conservative Congresswoman's televised national media appearances were on the right-leaning Fox News Network.... In 2009, however, 68 percent of Representative Bachmann's appearances have been made on the Fox networks.
