The Washington Post went to Kiron, Steve King’s hometown, and put its observations on the front page earlier this week. The article doesn’t set out for a particular point, more of a “day in the life” of pretty typical Iowans.
This is the second report from Crawford County in a month. The New York Times went to Denison and Orange City in March. Apparently, enough NYT readers don’t understand what it means to start a story with “ORANGE CITY —” that the paper will be ushering in the end of the dateline as we know it.
Whether these are examples of trying to see why Steve King keeps getting elected, an installation of decline porn, or both is up to the reader.
