I think that 'adjustment factor' that they so blithely talk about (but... vaguely) --- apparently having something to do with the political views of individual members of Congress --- needs to be looked at.

This may be an example of a study that got far too 'smart' for it's own good... and wound-up being neither fowl nor fish, not straight survey and not clear analysis.

(I suspect from the WSJ's "most Liberal in the land" ranking that the study's methodology had some major kinks in it... seems like they 'classified' any overtly 'bad' news [what other kind is there?], like, say, something like a bad earnings report that could affect a stock's price, or economic or world/political news that could affect markets, as "Liberal" by definition.... Odd... Some news is just that: news. A huricane or earthquake ain't either 'liberal' or 'conservative', it's just *news*. WSJ... a fine outfit, covers a LOT of NEWS from all over the world. Things you will not see in your local papers, indeed won't see in most national papers. If the methodology of this 'study' means that the more hard news you actually report on the more 'liberal' you are... then the most 'conservative' paper would be the one that doesn't print *anything*. Something not right with that....)
