Greetings from your friendly, neighborhood, TERRORIST!

There is a "statistical center" of political views that the Yale
study most likely used to determine their results. This has
nothing to do with what you or I believe, if it's done properly.

All this does is show a statistical center of an opinion, which by
definition is not necessarily correct.

Hmmm. A statistical center of opinion "by definition is not
necessarily correct". Right up there with "There are absolutely no
absolutes". Monkeys at typewriters could produce more logical
coherency than most of what's been posted in this thread by the left.

What I treid to point out is all the study "discovered" was the compilation
of the personal opinions of the interviewees. "Opinions" are simply that;
not "facts".

Here's another way to think about it:

As most people believe in Christianity, does that make it the "correct"
religion?

Oh well, I guess you'll have to live with Howard Stern.

"Our results show a very significant liberal bias....."

This month's "Atlantic" contained an article which touched on why. The author
pointed
out that almost all members of the media are well educated and paid well
above the
middle class. In addition, the industry is centered around the East Coast. As
individuals, they have the liberal bias prevalent in their class of people,
and this
shows in their work.


I have a different theory.

Engineering, technology, medicine and other rigorous degree paths require
advanced math.

You can get a journalism degree with almost no math.

You should also hook up to out of state sources ... like BBC or the
like.
Just to have a broader perspective.

Actually, BBC is on our local NPR news station every day.

They're great till they get to the worldwide cricket scores...

You'd love the shipping forecast on Radio 4.

"Shipping forecast"?

What's that, a weather forecast for the English Channel? The North
Atlantic?

Pretty much the sea all around the British Isles.

I'll record it for you and e-mail it...

Actually:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/news/shipping.shtml

You have it in text format, but for maximum effect, click on the
bit which says: "Click to listen to the shipping forecast".

The one at 00:48 is followed by the forecast for inshore waters:
http://www.met-office.gov.uk/datafiles/inshore.html

All together it goes on from 00:48 until 01:00. 12 minutes of weird
names and numbers. You could always click on "Listen Live" at 00:48
British Summer Time (23:48 UTC). From typing this, this is in just under
an hour. Can't listen to Real Audio stuff on my work connection (behind
a firewall) so can't tell you if the forecast after 01:00 on the web also
includes the inshore waters.

Info on interpreting the shipping forecast:
