I'm confused.

How does this help Asian America in the grand scheme of things?

Regardless, my question still stands. How much airtime was given to either?

Ken – these are guests, NOT anchor men or women.

I find it very difficult to believe that there are more Asian men than women in their networks. Do they disclose how much airtime each person gets?

How can you compare an Asian woman who gets 2000 hours of airtime with an Asian man that gets 30 hours?

It's misleading and just the ammo Asian women need to state how they're more discriminated against than Asian men.

That's good stuff, John. FNC and MSNBC need a rude-awakening. But I agree, there is — by no means — a lack of experts that are minorities, especially in Middle East foreign policy.
