The Media's Vast Disconnect With "Fly Over Country"

SEE HERE Frankly the problem with the media is that they have themselves confused with gurus.  They imagine that their take on things is accurate and everyone else is simply a bozo.  But their perspective is typically urban and they look down their noses on those who are not as "cosmopolitan" as themselves.  The reality is that that involves a vast disconnect from those who don't think cities are the only reality or that liberal progressive ideas the only wisdom.  The dismissive way that the media treat the concerns and ideas of the people in "fly-over country" is symptomatic of their biases and failure to engage the everyday reality that most of us endure.  The idea that wisdom only resides in the urban centers of the two coasts, New York and Los Angeles for example, shows a failure to engage the lives of the vast majority of Americans.
