Having good information accessibly presented is helpful but when local news outlets are owned by Sinclair Media[1] and Fox News is the most watched cable outlet for the conservatives that live there the facts really don't matter.
We can bend over backwards to explain how helpful the valley is to them but it's going to fall on ears which don't want to listen.
