This interactive Flash map shows that most of the top national media headquarters are in counties that voted for Kerry in 2004. Most journalists working in the national media live in large metro areas that voted for Gore in 2000 and Kerry in 2004. Maybe this has something to do with the perceived and measured liberal bias in the mainstream media.

We sat down Friday evening and decided to do a graphic using our new GIS mapping software, Avenza's MAPublisher. It really made a difference. We found the data at this site, downloaded it and pointed MAPublisher at it. The rest was almost as easy.

Please leave your comments and feel free to e-mail us with suggestions for this or other graphics.
