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]

Because it’s a common run of the milll neighbor vs. neighbor story.  But the Post wants to turn it into a gay couple vs a MAGA maniac story.  People are tired of this.  That’s why the Post readership is in free fall.  But they just can’t help themselves. [/quote]

It is definitely not a common run-of-the-mill neighbor vs. neighbor story. Nope. A common run-of-the-mill neighbor vs. neighbor story is my neighbor who called the county on their neighbor for work done without a permit. This is not that. Not to mention that, factually, the neighbors in this story are literally a gay couple and a MAGA maniac couple.[/quote]

And one actually called the other the f word.  [/quote]

Which he denies.  But he may or may not have said “This is MAGA country!”[/quote]
