Southern political personalities like sweet corn travel badly. They lose flavor with every hundred yards away from the patch. By the time they reach New York they are like Golden Bantam that has been trucked up from Texas - stale and unprofitable. The consumer forgets that the corn tastes different where it grows.

A stale article if you dip it in a good warm sunny smile will go off better than a fresh one that you've scowled upon.

You don't get hung up on zeros.
