A week or two ago I read a study by some university that was studying the effects of media political bias, as well as experimenting with samples from the general population as to how that bias has an effect on their views over time by providing them free, randomly selected periodicals. Their conclusion is that, at the present, Iowa represents the straight-down the middle center of American politics. If the media America consumed was neutrally biased politically, (current state) Texas would be the center of American politics.
Just think about a USA where Iowans think (politically) like Texans...how would the Texasn, Alaskans, New Hampshireians, & similar states fall out on the political spectrum?
This comports with the liberal & bragging Eason Jordan (then mucky-muck at CNN) estimate that the MSM political bias was worth about 15% at the polls on election day.
I guess my point is, THIS STUFF MATTERS. Andrew Brietbart understands this and so does Oleg. Facts and history and a written Constitution are not enough.
