21 states have no newspaper that has a DC correspondent reporting on local congresspeople. -- (link) - spamlet Jan 7, 13:47 13
- and their readers (what's left of them) give zero fucks, no doubt -- nm - humbug Jan 7, 14:05

    - But the corresponding representative spends a considerable amount of time within their district. - Mop Jan 7, 14:05 1
      - He's home to campaign; not actually do his job. You are on the ground in DC, you're seeing him do his job - Will Hunting Jan 7, 14:10
  - The weatherman does a remote on a moutain pass to report there is a sprinkle of snow, having someone in DC to report on the hot air should=importance -- nm - Chateau du zeitgeist Jan 7, 13:57 1
