Hookay, the "new HuffPost" kicks off the DRUMPFication of the media outlets
The "HuffPost" (why not "HuffPO"?!1) is teeing off of the buzz of the day, the Pew poll that discovered that all the media are headquartered in those evil coast locations and really are out of touch with everybody else.
This breathlessly "original" approach is not really new or original: CNN has long featured "non-traditional" voices, meaning people like Ruben NAVARRETTE who contradict what their home minority group's predominant beliefs and best interest are.
So here with go with Deplorables peppering all over.

[font size=5]Letter From The Editor: HuffPost’s New Chapter[/font]
We’ve got a new name, look and mission ― to tell the stories of [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]people who have been left out[/FONT] of the conversation.
By Lydia Polgreen
A simple but powerful question drove me to join HuffPost three months ago after nearly 15 years at The New York Times: What would it mean to create a news organization that saw itself not as writing about [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]people who feel left out[/FONT] of the political, economic and social power arrangements, but for them? ....
I think we can do better for people who feel that too much political and economic [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]power has accrued to a very small elite[/FONT]. People who feel they are [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]on the outside[/FONT] looking in at the prosperity created by globalization and technological transformation. That the game is rigged; that the deck is stacked[/FONT] against them; who feel that the house always wins. That definition includes many, many people who voted for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. I suspect it also includes the [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]majority of people who voted for Trump[/FONT]. It certainly encompasses voters on both sides of Brexit and the French presidential vote that took place over the weekend. ....
As we launch a brand-new name and look for HuffPost, I’ve been thinking a lot about these questions. How can we become better listeners? How can we serve you, our audience, better? We’re doubling down on our bold, splashy style, and serving up the news with a sense of humor, outrage and empathy. We’re also taking the suggestion of our audience across the globe and formally adopting the shorter name they’ve called us for years: HuffPost. ....
We’ll be asking [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]more voices from different[/FONT] perspectives to join our network of contributors and describe their experiences in their own words. And our global editions will work together much more closely to cover the big, sweeping stories of our time: the rise of [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]nationalism, terrorism[/FONT] and climate change; the challenge of the global migration crisis; the struggle for human rights across the world. ....
