The rest of the country is a vast sea of brilliant Republican red. But the smug elitists of your Mainstream Media including the New York Times and the Associated Press insist on dismissing the occupants of that vast sweep of Republican\/Independent red as \u201cuninformed and deluded white males without college educations in rural backwaters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t they?<\/p>\n<p>How\u2019s your ad revenue, Mr. newspaper or network or wire service owner?

Whether you can make money as a primarily Internet company I don\u2019t know. But there are some things that CAN be helped. Surely it wouldn\u2019t be wise to drive away 50-odd percent of your remaining market simply through the unexamined ignorance and arrogance of your employees, do you think?<\/p>\n<p>Tell your editor: \u201cI\u2019ve been looking over your attempts to diversify the newsroom. You\u2019re doing well and I want that to continue. As you know, I don\u2019t want inferior performers hired or tolerated just because they\u2019re black or female or Hispanic or gay or whatever. Weed out the chaff. But when the best candidate for a given job happens to fall into one of those categories, keep hiring them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne great benefit of that policy is that when anyone on our staff is tempted to get lazy and use some racial or gender stereotype, they\u2019ll now realize, \u2018Wow, there\u2019s a lesbian or a black person sitting right next to me. I\u2019d better re-think that.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>But in my \u201cpost-Election-Day meeting\u201d scenario, the boss now grows more serious.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStill, there\u2019s another kind of diversity we need, where we\u2019re not doing so well,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s not a diversity of cosmetics, of appearance. Instead, it\u2019s a diversity of political and moral and economic viewpoint, where about half the nation turn out to be dead-set against most of that &#8216;progressive, politically correct&#8217; indoctrination they&#8217;ve been promoting at Columbia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Those folks point out some embarrassing stuff &#8212; that there&#8217;s been no measurable global warming in 17 years; that the government pays out millions in damages every year for infant brain damage caused by supposedly safe vaccines; that the cities with the most gun control have the most violent crime; that a lot of economists say our deficit spending will ruin the dollar; that the Founding Fathers never meant Washington to own half the land area of the Western states, that our public-school graduates can no longer count change or spell very well or find Austria on a globe. And instead of looking into this stuff, our guys just make fun of them, ridicule them as &#8216;conspiracy nuts, clinging to their guns and their religion.'&#8221;      <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook at this election map. How many of our staff grew up in these big red areas, or have spent any real time out there? How many have families that still live out in those states and counties, farming or ranching or working in some steel mill or coal mine? When some arrogant young college graduate who\u2019s never spent so much as a week out there in Flyover Country hauls out some derogatory caricature  of all those Americans, calling them uneducated racist hicks, who is there in our newsroom to say, \u2018Hey, that\u2019s my family you\u2019re talking about\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vinsuprynowicz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/th-27.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4210\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vinsuprynowicz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/th-27.jpg?resize=269%2C183&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"th\" width=\"269\" height=\"183\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4210\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Watch this short video clip of Republican analyst Steve Schmidt on MSNBC\u2019s \u201cMorning Joe\u201d show on Nov. 9, the morning after those Americans elected Donald Trump (transcript follows): <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2016\/11\/09\/steve_schmidt_cultural_condescension_mocking_their_patriotism_and_god_led_to_trump.html\">http:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2016\/11\/09\/steve_schmidt_cultural_condescension_mocking_their_patriotism_and_god_led_to_trump.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>STEVE SCHMIDT: \u201cFirst off, usually when you have a candidate who wins the presidency, they defeat the other party.
