Our Village Voice-owned City Pages has a couple of interesting articles this week: Here's a piece on how TV coverage, never that liberal to begin with, has swung even farther right after the 2004 elections -- even as Bush's ratings sink to historic lows.

And here's one that detonates PowerLine dork Scott "Big Trunk" Johnson's exurban-white-boy-panic musings on "Murderapolis".
