$350 Jeans - How the Media is Out of Touch With America

Agustus 03, 2017
You can't teach to a greater extent than styling than a Cowboy.   $54 retail , on sale for less.



A recent article inwards the Washington Post (reprinted inwards the San Antonio paper) decries how $350 jeans are beingness supplanted past times mere $100 "leggings".  I am non certain what the betoken of the floor is , other than what a shame it is that blue jeans that toll to a greater extent than than cars I induce got bought are going out of means inwards favor of "leggings" that toll nearly 3 times what I pay for a duet of jeans.

The concluding fourth dimension I bought a duet of jeans , was inwards a Western store inwards Texas , or was it Arizona.  Wrangler "boot cut" jeans check good , have on similar atomic publish 26 , too I intend they were $35 or thence , on sale.  No , they don't come upwards amongst faux "distressed" patterns on too then or cheesy rhinestones on the pockets.  Only idiots inwards the big urban marrow matter that sort of crap is "trendy".

Of course of study , when I read this article I had to outset query what "leggings" are.   Yes , I don't follow all the fads , too give cheers you lot , I am proud of that.  It turns out that "leggings" are only exactly about other elevate for stretch pants or effort pants - something that should non hold upwards worn exterior of a ballet flat or gym.   People are wearing this every bit wearing apparel now?   No wonder they are getting thrown off airplanes!  Oh , correct , that's the airline's mistake for showing a picayune class past times requiring employees to wear clothes.

But articles similar the 1 inwards the Washington ship service virtually $350 jeans too $100 stretch pants , good , they are variety of disgusting really.  When the vast volume of Americans - you lot know , the "little people" that the folks at the Washington Post profess to attention virtually too that Liberals are developing withal only about other authorities programme for - pay 1/10th every bit much for their clothing.  Are in that location no articles that relate to them?   Written from a first-person perspective , that is.   Oh , correct , they toss inwards an article written past times a recovering addict or homeless somebody in 1 lawsuit inwards a land to connect amongst us "little people".

It illustrates the disconnect betwixt the "Limousine Liberals" too the remainder of America - wealthy people who "know what's best for us" but of course of study , don't induce got to alive similar us.   It is akin to people telling me their opinions on Obamacare (for too against) when they don't induce got to sign upwards for a invention inwards the marketplace similar I do.   All these people wanting to "help" me too other people similar me , but having no thought how nosotros actually live.

Oh , certain , they induce got a condescending reckon of "middle America" - nosotros all alive inwards trailers , collect guns , too worship Donald Trump too Jesus - cipher could hold upwards farther from the truth.   Americans are depicted past times the press either every bit villains or victims too inwards either instance , the press knows what is best for us.  And increasingly , it is 1 argue when I encounter an article from The Washington Post or The New York Times (two newspapers I used to subscribe to) I only transcend over them.  I know that I am non going to teach "news" out of the floor , but rather opinion instead. Left-wing reckon , where criminals are ever innocent , the law are bad , too Republicans took away our jobs.

This is non to tell I spotter Fox News or read Breitbart - that's the same dreck , dissimilar day.   They also insult our intelligence every bit good , thinking that Americans volition believe any half-assed floor that comes downward the pike too that everything that happens during the twenty-four hours is a "News Alert!"  Their accept is basically the same condescending note the Left-wing press takes.  They know what's best for us - slashing the taxes of the rich too cutting social safety for the middle class.

Sadly , in that location does non appear to hold upwards a media outlet these days that reports the tidings to Middle America - the middle of the route people who are non rabid leftists or rightists.  The conservative Democrats too Liberal Republicans who are non "Progressives" or "Tea Partiers".  (And no , the Tea Party doesn't teach to define who is or is non a "real" Republican.)   The media doesn't study on anyone who isn't filthy rich or dirt pitiful (both extremes beingness muddied , I guess).  No 1 talks virtually or from the perspective of average people only doing their jobs too shopping at Walmart or whatever , buying their groceries , non having them delivered past times drone or inwards "kits".   People who are similar you lot too me are ignored , unless nosotros are talked downward to.

This is why the media is non trusted.   It is , inwards fact , elitist , too the fact The Washington Post thinks $100 "Leggings" too $350 bluish jeans , worn past times a tiny fragment of the population , is a "news story" is clear proof of this.

The Washington Post - "Leggings Die In the Darkness" - but lets non hold upwards dramatic virtually this , eh?
