Okay everyone - I was having a friendly debate the other night over who gets the most news coverage no matter what kind, Ohio or Wisconsin. I know this may seem silly but I made a home made pie. Please help me be the winner. I will not tell you what I said so no to biast your responses. Ready Set GO

that's easy, Ohio, ------ Wisconsin is very forgotten about, look at the Weather Channel, they don't even show Milw. temp, Chicago and Mpls but no Milw.

plus Ohio is much closer to the east coast, weather, job layoffs, everything is that much closer to effecting the east coast and to the east-coast media bias. To many people Chicago is all there is in the midwest and with Milw. being a city 1/6th the size of chicago 1.5 hrs north it gets forgotten about easily.

I'm going to have to go with Ohio, mainly because they have a lot more people than Wisconsin, not to mention more major cities like Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati.

I'll go with Ohio, too as Wisconsin does seem to get neglected on the news front and definitely the weather.

Ohio gets a lot more coverage, on all fronts, than WI. That's an easy one.

Ohio, as others have stated it has larger cities, more people et cetera.

However, Ohio isn't really a vacation destination like WI.

Ohio.

It is closer to the East Coast, the original head of the US media machine, and therefore is more on their radar screen than is some place that many (esp. in the South) believe is in Canada.
Also, as previously stated, it has more people (and thus more electoral votes and political power) HAD more industry and is 2nd (after Virginia) as a producer of US Presidents.

Meanwhile, we have great schools, are cheese producers extrodinaire, and can really hold our beer and brandy.
