Sorta kinda interesting. CNN is a favorite in Florida, a state often portrayed as almost as gun loving and violent as Texas. Perhaps they are being controlled by the mind altering effects of Maddow waves.
Some interesting outliers--Texas goes to CBS? You mean they're not part of the vast Fox Wing conspiracy? Seriously though, Al Jazeera in NY? I'd have understood if it was Michigan, but NY? Odd. Also interesting how much of the country shows up as BBC--I'm guessing this is showing pluralities that barely beat out other media outlets.
Of course, if you go to the link and look at the online source map, it shows less homogeneity nation wide and in various regions. (Interestingly, Cali and NY still stand out for their choices of Salon and Slate.)
Only thing I can figure is that people are relatively evenly distributed in a lot of those places, but that a slightly larger number say they listen to BBC for news--you get them on the radio when NPR finishes for the day.

ReplyDeleteShe's MSNBC, actually.

I don't put too much stock in this map, especially that BBC part. It doesn't make sense to me.

DeleteIf that map doesn't say everything you need to know about how accurate these things are, there's no helping you.
ReplyDeleteMy primary source is NPR, by the way.
