The recent presidential elections in November were actually pretty close. I believe Obama won by 2 percentage points over McCain. That means that maybe 51% of the people who voted in the U.S. are Democrats and 49% are Republican. It's actually closer than that when you figure in Independents, Green Party and quite a few others on the fringe.
So follow me on this:
Now we keep reading that the New York Times is losing their behinds in readership and subscriptions (or the lack thereof --this has been going for years by the way). They are going broke with millions of dollars lost every month. The same goes for the L.A. Times, the Washington Post, the Chicago Sun and Tribune, and a number of others national newspapers. Yet, they can't figure out why so many people stop reading them.
Some of the so-called elite thinkers think that television and especially cable news is taking much of their "news" business away. That doesn't make sense because nowhere on cable can you get expansive coverage of a story, thoughtful editorials, or even the funny pages.
Now, are you following all this?...
So I'm thinking. In a recent national poll taken by some uppity University (one of those Ivy League types back East), published that during the presidential campaign, 73% of positive coverage among national newspapers (also labeled as the "drive by media") were favorable to Barack Hussein Obama, while only 27% were positive articles for John McCain.
Are you getting the picture here? 73% of the national newspapers articles covered Obama in a favorable way, on the other hand, only 27% did it for McCain. See where this is going?
Obama won the elections by perhaps 2% over McCain, yet the newspapers covered both men in great disparity...like a 46% difference! Let's see 46% disparity between the candidates in the newspapers but only LESS THAN 2% disparity in the actual elections. So that means that there were almost as many Republicans voting as there were Democrats, yet these newspapers' EDITORIALS AND COVERAGE were not providing the same balance to its readers.
Now you know why all these clowns, high-brow thinkers and the media elite can't figure out why they are losing so many readers. They can't do the math!
