It's important to remember the news is a TV show like any other. Their primary concern is ratings, and the way they get ratings is by scaring you so you're too afraid to leave them. Essentially, the news is that person on Tinder saying, "I hate dramaaaaaa!" But then when you hook up with them they put your ferret in the microwave.
Have you seen how scary the trailers for the news have gotten lately?
"Don't go ANYWHERE! When we come back... could YOUR neighbor be a pedophile?!"
And you're at home like, "Oh shit. Could he be? I mean, what are the odds... there are two of us in this building?"
PLUG: If you enjoy my material, I released a stand-up album, which is available now on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, Spotify, and Pandora. So if you'd like to hear how this joke or dozens of others I've posted in this sub over the years sounds out loud, this is the best option. Otherwise, see y'all on twitter and Instagram. Thanks! <3
Nobody ever mentions my town! Also, Missoula is a pretty liberal town. The sorts of people you're talking about mainly live in the Bitterroot Valley, south of Missoula, or in Butte/Helena

Refreshing to see the rednecks placed on Montana rather than the Deep South for a change.
There are rednecks everywhere -- even in big, hip cities!
