As a counterpoint, an outsize proportion of mass media is produced by relatively-not-poor people who live in cities, many of whom are transplants. As such, that is the dominant perspective.
But I certainly agree that mass media does not understand or address the richness of life in cities (or anywhere else).

Yes, I agree that many perspectives are omitted.

It captures the suburbs pretty well, IMHO.
I would say it's the opposite. Cities are their own worlds and cultures (many, many cultures per city); they have the critical mass to ignore mass media. Mass media doesn't understand or address the richness of life in cities; it's for the suburbs.
