Yeah, but we don't control the media. There is not a national news station showing what's important to the middle states.

I noticed that, particularly about the New York Times. Periodically they'll have a piece about something in the South and it's always about the stereotypical slack-jawed yokel who's trying to marry his sister, or is living in a dirt hut but has 5000 guns, or a preacher who preaches black people are the descendants of Cain, or some such. It's like people in New York can't start their day without feeling superior to someone else.
There is a big one, called FOX.
That would be the stereotypical wrong answer.
The people who Fox News caters to the most are suburbanites. Most people way out here are lukewarm on Fox News. They're just... different. They agree with some things that I imagine would be popular in big coastal cities, but disagree with other things that might surprise you, so.

ummm... not really.
Fox News Network, LLC 1211 Avenue Of The Americas New York, NY 10036
That's its location.
The question was whether there's a network "showing what's important to the middle states".
(Which I interpret as "important related to their views on laws, life, politics, ethics, etc", not as "related to regional news").

FOX is targeted at McMansion owners.
