Maybe you have been involved in something like this or at least read about it. The annual company performance comes in below budget and the CEO calls a meeting of top managers. When they arrive, he has a folder for each of them and in it is an airline ticket. The CEO tells them to get out into the country and introduce themselves to a customer.
This is exactly what the news directors for every NY and DC based news network, newspaper and news agency should be doing. The working class, coast to coast, and essentially everyone in fly-over country are invisible to the mainstream media (MSM). The MSM media does not understand the culture or the hopes and fears of the working class. They are not valued as important and significant contributors to our society.
The MSM has been talking to themselves, the political elites and the power structure of the Northeast. They failed to recognize that “other thinking” existed.
The New York Times released a statement saying they were redefining their mission and commitment to unbiased reporting. I guess that is an acknowledgement that they had been biased. The biased reporting became so obvious that the MSM quit even denying it.
This morning a reporter cited an example of media blind bias. On the campaign trail, Trump said, “Hillary is imitating me and holding tarmac campaign stops.” The MSM called for a Fact-Check and then reported that Trump “lied”. Hillary had used tarmac campaign stops in 2012. REALLY? Were they serious? This was an important statement that needed to be fact-checked and rebuked? This was a throw away line by Trump. The MSM had gotten too close, too invested in a Hillary victory.
My question for you is how did a NYC/Global billionaire know the pent-up issues of the working man in Iowa, eastern Ohio, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania? That invisible, silent majority somehow became visible to the unlikely GOP candidate and as of November 9, they were no longer silent.

Well said. Remember the old United Airlines commerical where he did that.
