Giving "voice" to the 'Forgotten Americans"

Thanks to the most unorthodox candidate battling against
the political and media establishments the American people
have finally gotten to see for themselves the embodiment
of a biased and perhaps corrupt system which influences
who we elect.

We also see once again how divided our country is as the
West Coast and Northeast were solidly supporting Hillary
Clinton while the heartland, the smaller, less populated
states voted for Donald Trump.

Much is being made about Hillary receiving more votes, but
not enough to reach the required electoral count of 270,
as Trump reached 306.

But, it is no coincidence the areas where Hillary was most
successful are the media centers in our country where major
newspapers are influential.

As we look to the major cities we find the New York Times,
Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, San
Francisco Chronicle, Boston Globe and even the national
USA Today, all endorsed Hillary Clinton.

This parallels the voting pattern of the American people
as the smaller states, with smaller circulation newspapers
provided Trump his victory.

As we begin the Trump Administration it appears the White
House press room will look as it does now under President
Obama, even with Trump's criticism of the media. Trump
will continue to give prominent seating to his harshest
critics as George Bush did leading to the same bias at
daily press briefings and press conferences.

Well, this need not be so, not with the most "unorthodox"
president in the White House.

President Trump should dramatically re-prioritize which media
receives credentials, ensuring newspapers of the heartland
are equally represented. 

President Trump should invite the most equally "unorthodox"
media to ensure the voters in smaller states, the ones who
gave him the victory have as much representation in the White
House as the major newspapers have.

This decision would also give a life line to smaller newspapers
who are struggling to survive.

Newspapers from Nashville, Oklahoma City, Boise, St. Louis,
Louisville, Charleston, Birmingham, Al, and many of the
dozens of states he won need to have equal access.

Why should the small papers, scattered across the country,
who know the "Trump voter" the best not be allowed to ask
the questions on their readers minds when we know the major
newspapers intend is to play "gotcha" for their own purposes?

Its only right the first non-establishment president should
communicate directly to the long ignored non-establishment media!
