Mountaineer Musings on Meida Bias
Jan 15th 2008ScottAmerican History & Politics & Wyoming & blogging & conservatism & elections & patriotism & worthwhile reads
I stumbled across a blog today, Mountaineer Musings, that commentated about media bias against the “little guys,” perhaps most notably, against Wyoming. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud when I finished reading this paragraph:
Then there is Wyoming, which has more delegates than New Hampshire but was completely ignored because of this farcical notion the old media has instilled in most Americans that the people of Iowa and New Hampshire are the most politically educated and therefore the most important in the whole entire election process (hahahahaha — how many of them were still undecided when they woke up on election day? Voting by feeling, anyone?). I heard in a solitary mention on FNC, during a ten-second break from their reporting on the New Hampshire campaigning, that oh, by the way, Mitt Romney won Wyoming. That’s it. Nothing about the fact that even if he lost New Hampshire, he would still be out ahead of McCain as far as delegate count. And I would be
remissFox if I didn’t bother to tell you that Fred Thompson also received 25% of the Republican vote in Wyoming and that Duncan Hunter received 8% of the vote. But you know, no big whoop, because Wyoming isn’t an elite coastal state or a corn-subsidy-loving state. So it doesn’t count (those silly conservatives).
You should really check out the rest of what she has to say.
