Re: Some Real Questions (3.00 / 2)

Re: the nation's political geography.  The Midwest is not all that uniformly conservative or Republican.  Except for Ohio, many of the Great Lakes states are strongly Democratic.  A couple of urban areas in Ohio--Toledo and Cleveland--are strongly Democratic, too.  
    What chips off the mainstream media is that there is emerging another group of media critics that they have to take seriously before shooting off their mouths or word processors.  It was so much easier when only conservatives scrutinized and mounted criticism on every story.  They had learned to flinch from--oh, I mean be sensitive to the needs of--conservatives on every story.  The left is where conservatives were in the 70s, when they could be routinely blown off as impotent.  Once they became powerful, the MSM knew these were people worth deferring to.  It's sad, but we have to flex these kind of threatening muscles right now, rather than throw ourselves at the MSM's concept of fairness.
