What does your favorite TV shows say about your politics?

I saw an interesting BuzzFeed article today that graphs likely Obama and Romney voters based on the TV shows or networks they also like, using data collected from a Trendsetter app. Thought I would post it here because you might find it interesting: http://www.buzzfeed.com/rubycramer/what-your-favorite-tv-shows-say-about-your-politic

1) I find it hilarious how off the chart The Newsroom is.
2) 30 Rock is my favorite show, and I did in fact vote Obama. (And did in fact “show up” via my mail in ballot, so there’s that.)
3) It would be really interesting to take each of these shows and analyze how many times politics or elections are mentioned. This season of 30 Rock, for example, has been centered around the election.
