[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The Plains is rural. It sure ain't urban or suburban or exurban. It's rural. There is no public transit out there. Only 250 people in The Plains.[/quote] The Plains is along a major interstate highway and 35 minutes from an international airport. So funny. To the Ivy League post reporters any small town is “rural.” OMG there is no public transit, I can hear the banjos![/quote] Why are you arguing about it being rural? It's near (not on) I-66, it's near Dulles, AND it's rural. The Ag Reserve in Montgomery County is also rural. What difference does it make to the story?[/quote] It’s closer to Dulles than DC is. The headline specifically used the word “rural” as a dog whistle to try and establish a narrative that is not supported by the facts. They do this frequently. [/quote] Alternatively, the headline used the word "rural" because it's rural. What difference does it make to the story?[/quote]
