(11,808 posts)and how exactly do they express that? Do they have to be white to be loved by them? A fellow Trump lover? What? Did they get vaccinated? Did I see a mask anywhere on that small bus? The people being trucked in were BLM?
I must stop watching things like this as I am sickened by bullshit.

(5,190 posts)This device is so overdone. How about asking more folks in more populous areas what they think? Rural people have too much media attention.

(8,925 posts)Most big television journalists live in places like NYC, DC, or LA. Theyre typically liberal and move in liberal social circles.
They have no idea what small towns are like or the people who populate them.
So you occasionally get pieces like this. It plays like a human nature documentary, and theyre hilariously insulting for everyone involved.
I love the things, because the reporters never realize how dumb they look. Sure, some of the people do, too. But to actually broadcast to people that youre wildly uninformed about a large part of the country takes a certain lack of self-awareness.

These idiots are the same people who think John Wayne was an American hero instead of the draft dodger who was booed off the stage by the wounded at Pearl Harbor he actually was.

How about a diner in a town whose demographics have ANY CORRELATION WHATSOEVER to the demographic distribution of the USA?
Why are we constantly bombarded with the opinions of these imbeciles?
