Former NPR Boss Gets It ... Too Late

The New York Post carries a story by Ken Stern, the former head of National Public Radio. Stern took a year of his retirement and spent it in non-coastal Red America. It opened his eyes, he met a lot of people he actually liked in flyover country. His conclusion:

The media should acknowledge its own failings in reflecting only their part of America. You can’t cover America from the Acela corridor, and the media need to get out and be part of the conversations that take place in churches and community centers and town halls.

Dollars to donuts the folks back at NPR won't take his advice to heart. They simply don't want anything to do with us. As he notes, we aren't much taken with them, either.
