The treatment of recent news reveals an important chasm in 2018 America: the concerns of Mainstream Media vs. those of Main Street USA. In many ways, this divide represents a sort of tale of two cities.
The first "City" of Washington-New York media elites explodes over every headline, including endless rumors regarding Russia and White House staff intrigue.
In contrast, the second "City" of non-politically obsessed everyday Americans focuses on bread-and-butter issues that actually matter to their everyday lives.
During the second week of August, according to a study from left-leaning Media Matters, MSNBC spent almost 16 hours of total airtime discussing disgruntled and discredited former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman.
The same survey showed the majority of black small-business owners have not completed a bachelor's degree, meaning business opportunities and the attendant prospects of economic self-sufficiency are available now to all Americans and no longer just the privileged.
Sadly, I do not expect that the mainstream media will start to report on these marked improvements for Main Street America.
While opposition advocates in the White House briefing room masquerade as journalists, hardworking Americans throughout flyover country live and know a very different reality of an optimistic, growing, and resurgent America under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump.
