Yep this exactly. Like, this is the whole problem with ~rural reporting.~

People like to get up in arms about stories about this because we get to show everyone how much!! we really care!! about rural areas!!

But the only way most people actually click to read about "rural problems" is when it's their own pet peeve dressed up in a cowboy hat.

So to sell a story on rural corruption, you have to make it about Amazon.

And then nobody notices the rural corruption part.
