Problem is nowadays, the media serves as nothing but a propaganda corps against US Interests. We seldom get the truth from them.
I'm proud of the map showing what areas support conservatism, but I still object to them coloring us "red".
I know it's a small thing, but I still hate it. :)
Making the Democrats red was too close to being truthful for the Ministry of Propaganda.
Originally Red was Democrat and Blue was Republican. It was changed by the media in the 2000 election cycle because Blue elicited calm feeling and red more confrontational feelings. It was done to aid the Democrats like everything else the media does.
