Quote of the Day: normal vs abnormal

[timelets]

Citizens should realize that nearly everyone featured in the political media is “abnormal” (in a statistical sense, but probably in other senses as well).
... normal Americans are not the ones featured in the media. Bear in mind that less than 2 percent of the eligible electorate subscribes to the New York Times. About 1 percent of the electorate watches Fox News or Stanford’s Rachel Maddow in the evening.
...
As always, most Americans are working, raising their families and otherwise going about their daily lives, not paying much attention to the political wars being fought by political elites.

The New York Times is about a lot more than politics.

Sure. This means that 2% is the upper boundary.
