The Longmont(pop. 20,000), Colorado, TIMES-CALL front paged both articles.
Some of my more left-of-center friends who live in Boulder, a somewhat liberal
college town, refer to Longmont as "Redneck City" on their more charitable
days.  They do this because we take pride in the fact that less than ten
percent of our population has been contaminated with a college education in
one of those damn liberal universities.  So much for your theory.

The media you would like to see exists already, Tim, but you can't see it. You
have to listen to it.  It is called international shortwave radio.

Radio Moscow World Service    Deutch Welle    Radio Canada International

Kol Israel    Radio South Africa    VOA    BBC    Radio Peking    Radio Habana

Radio Swiss International    Voice of the Islamic Peoples Republic

There are many more. Some are hard to hear because the US is jamming the signal.
They all beam their views into the US in english.  All you have to do is listen.
Try it some evening.
