The Daily Telegraph embarked on its "Crossing America" project to find out.

They sound like the elite Europeans that first landed in the Dark Continent...

...the Joe Schmoe tribesmen had Bibles...

...and then deep in the bush we came across a gun-shop owner who made a crude joke...

...combination of rumour, scraps of hard information and gut feeling as well as drumbeats across hilltops.

Yes, but the European writer at least made an attempt at an anthropological study of the "natives".

The American MSM (and many in the DC elite) just refers to the "natives" in flyover country as right-wing extremists and racists and dismisses them as savages unfit for civilized society. The Constitution is viewed as a quaint document written by ancient people under the influence of that evil drug "tobacco".

The Telegraph underwent a change of ownership within the last decade. Like so many other European (and particular British) institutions, its tone went from "conservative" to socialist-elitist. Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, their Washington correspondent in Clinton years, was allowed free reign to criticize the Clinton White House. Contrast that to this reporter, who appears to be walking on egg shells when HRC is the subject at hand.

To the best of my knowledge, Clinton critic Evans-Pritchard was reassigned to Brussels, de facto capital of European socialism and internationalism. Retribution by the newspaper ownership, perhaps.
