I'm from one of these small communities and... yeah... it's bad. A major issue is up until somewhat recently, the only form of media really available is conservative talk show propaganda. I don't think people from larger cities understand what it's like to have 10 radio stations. 2 music, 2 for sports, 3 for religion, and 3 for conservative talk (with the relgious stations often being nothing more than conservative talk). Quiet literally, the most progressive station available is NPR and often the most progressive TV channel is PBS. Is it any wonder why rural America got swallowed up into a conservative media bubble? Old farmer joe's entertainment while plowing the field was an FM/AM radio for the longest time. One good thing about the prevalence of the Internet and smartphones is now these farmers have access to a much wider media diet. The bad news is many of them have spent literally decades listening to the likes of Rush.
