IMO, VERY well done story.
Red state bar mitzvah
By Bruce Vilanch
From The Advocate, January 17, 2005
The only bright spot on election night was noticing that the Queer Eye guys had apparently infiltrated the network news divisions. Everywhere you looked, there was a sea of red and a depressingly smaller sea of blue. NBC even commandeered the ice rink at Rockefeller Center and turned it into a gigantic red and blue map, which served as a doormat for the shafts of red and blue light climbing up the side of the General Electric building as the competition stiffened.
Back in the day, as people under 20 are fond of saying (I keep thinking they’re referring to last Tuesday, and often they are), the networks relied on a baffling array of charts and graphs done up by T-square nerds in the research department. We’re much more sophisticated now.
