They really think of California as Hollywood, and not much else. We have deserts, mountains, forests, farms, more conservatives than the populations of the majority of states.
We are also the 5th or 6th largest economy in the world. The nation's grocer. Ignoring California is spiting the country. Close to 1/6th of all tax revenue in this country is produced in California. If we fall, everybody else will fall as well.
I totally understand what you are saying. But the east coast bias is also apparent here on the east coast. They really think it is NYC, Boston and D.C. and Miami for vacation.
We have mountains, forests, farms, and more conservatives than we are given credit for.
Has anyone out side of this region ever heard of the DelMarVa peninsula????
Don't feel alone in being biasly ignored by the media.
