Interesting reading but it has a flaw in the analysis,ie defining the center. Even so it is very interesting. Thanks.

Very interesting, Goldie. But, what the Hell is an 'adjusted ADA score'? They are 'adjusting' numbers based upon some estimation of the views of individual members of Congress????? What the heck is that about? What does Congress have to do with it? (They also excluded ALL editorials and 'letters to the editor' that are aired or printed... Don't they think that those are clear directional indicators, and affect public perceptions as well? If not, why not?) Some other things look a little odd, and I'm afraid this 'ADA adjustment' crap has bolixed-up the results. Does it SEEM CORRECT to you that CNN Newsnight and Newshour with Jim Lehrer would be MORE 'conservative' then Drudge? Or that The Wall Street Journal (that bastion of liberal bomb-throwing) would be THE MOST LIBERAL MAJOR NEWS OUTLET IN THE LAND... ranked as far more 'liberal' then EVERYONE ELSE in the study, more 'liberal' then the NYT and CBS News? Does that really seem at all correct? And, if this study could get so majorly haywire like that... it doesn't leave me with an over-whelming confidence that they've gotten the fine graduations of differences correct either....
