The US media bubble

Politico has a lengthy article on how much of a bubble the US media live in. They found:

• 90% of Internet publishing employees work in a county Clinton won
• 75% of Internet publishing employees work in a county Clinton won by over 30%
• 72% of Internet publishing and media employees work in a county Clinton won

So it is not deliberate bias, just that so many in the media live in a neighbourhood which is unrepresentative of the country as a whole.

It would be interesting to study NZ media and where they live. I suspect most NZ media will live in Labour held electorates despite Labour holding only 21 out of 64 general electorates.
