Article shows the truly misinformed and ignorance of rural America

74. IMO, less likely to be truly geographic than media dominance in their existence.

It's not a question of rural people being STUPID.

Rural people aren't so much STUPID as they are misinformed by available information sources. I've met a LOT of Milwaukee residents on the west and northwest sides that are TREMENDOUSLY misinformed, rather than STUPID. It's about poverty and higher priorities for survival.

What borders on STUPID (as dictionary defined as slow-witted, slow on the up-take) is to think that everyone has equal access to the same information.

Rural areas not far from urban areas don't have cellphone/hot spot internet access or cable services to the extent urban and suburban areas do. That's just the reality of American existence. On my rural property I can't even get cnn news stories over the 5G Iphone.

Yet, 45 Miles west of Milwaukee I can view Fox News and Sinclair Group news whenever I want, but I can't see counter balancing CNN or MSNBC without some form of satellite service. For modest families with high commuting costs, that's something that is out of the budget.

But, for me all isn't lost. I usually don't overnight in rural Jefferson County.

In the early morning, evenings, and Sundays when I'm less than 5 miles from where the Republican National Convention will be held I can get all that.
