Some 45 percent of Fox News, CNN and MSNBC hosts do not belong to a political party, while just 16 percent each have registered as Republicans or Democrats.
Cable news is a battle ground for partisans, but the hosts and anchors at the country's big three networks — Fox News, MSNBC and CNN — are far less likely to belong to political parties than their commentary might suggest.review of publicly available voter registration and election data, a relative majority of cable news hosts and anchors are actually undeclared .
Despite the perception of MSNBC as a bastion of liberalism, only 26 percent of the network's hosts and anchors are registered as Democrats, though five of the nine who are undeclared were once registered as Democrats, according to a LexisNexis database search. The network's two registered Republican hosts/anchors are former George W. Bush press secretary Nicole Wallace, a fierce critic of President Trump, and weekend host Alex Witt.
In the same vein, only three CNN hosts/anchors are registered Democrats, according to recent voting data: Alisyn Camerota, Van Jones and Victor Blackwell. Some 70 percent are undeclared, while only one — weekend host S.E. Cupp — is a registered Republican. The network's primetime lineup is entirely undeclared, though Erin Burnett, Anderson Cooper and Chris Cuomo have all previously been registered as Democrats. Don Lemon was registered as a Republican as recently as 1990.
