Where news breaks


This is a map representing the frequency with which each state was the dateline for Associated press stories from 1994 - 1998. Possibly a bit dubious given that the dateline of many stories will be the home of the news source (e.g. D.C., New York, Atlanta) rather than where the news actually happened, but interesting nonetheless. Texas is pretty small, considering.

I just like that it make the country look like swollen testes or a small phallus. Both fair and balanced. You decide.

Naturally Florida retains its flacid penis shape.

And Mississippi is a tiny dot!

And Arkansas looks like something nasty that Tennessee just excreted.
