I'd argue that Fox News is the most worthless. They themselves even admit it as much. News Corp. Admits: Fox News Is "Opinionated News" | Blog | Media Matters for America

Also pretty bad. But when I was watching coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing, I found that almost everything CNN said was actually false. Fox News actually outperformed them that day, on basis of reporting facts.

It's the only city in Ohio which grew in population (significant growth, at that), which people within and out of the state relocate to en masse, and with such a diversity of career fields. The only other Midwestern city which experienced that kind of economic and population growth within the past decade was Indianapolis.

But have you heard how awesome Cleveland and Cincinnati are?

Lot better than Cbus.

I'd even take Dayton over Columbus.

Are the statistics city-only, or for the entire metro area?

With numbers lke that, probably metro.

I think it shows disappearance of jobs = low labor market participation, meaning people either leave, retire early, etc...

Think maybe NE Ohioans could get behind moving the capital to Dayton? Toledo might be a more neutral site.

Yeah, we've all heard the folklore about Ohio's Emerald City, henceforth where a soul wings its way to a shining better life, once lifted above the drab desolation elsewhere in the state. A better place indeed; a place where magic and myth have truly become one.

Which only goes to show you have an unreasonable bias. Dayton? Why not Springfield.

What's ironic is that you guys do more to perpetuate that than I do. I don't think Columbus is perfect. I don't think it's the best city at everything, even in Ohio. The fact that so many people from the other 2-Cs fall all over themselves to be as negative as possible about a city that has had, as Natural mentioned, some of the best growth in the entire Midwest, just shows the kind of incredible bias that exists against it in the rest of the state. Luckily, it's pretty easy to understand why. People really aren't that hard to figure out.
