Heard on the Hill

Editor’s Note: Democrats on TV

Editor’s Note: A July 11 story that described the number of times members of Congress have appeared on television in 2019 was incorrect and based on incomplete statistics.

The story relied on CQ’s Newsmaker transcripts from Jan. 3 through June 26, which include appearances on CNN, CNN International, MSNBC, Fox News, Fox Business, PBS NewsHour, cable news town halls and the Sunday morning talk shows. The transcripts do not include every TV appearance by members of Congress.

Information provided by the office of Rep. Matt Gaetz shows the Florida Republican had at least nine times more appearances than reflected in the transcripts. 

The story has been removed.
