The rural media landscape has been overrun by the conservative media machine. Hundreds of misinformation outlets parroting the same lies, over and over.

Alternate voices have been drowned out.

Meanwhile, instead of building our own media operations to pierce the veil, liberals have decided instead to ridicule the misinformed rubes. We are not likely to persuade folks to come back to sanity by laughing at them. It just makes them perceive us as an enemy.
