It’s like a whole other country
Journalists to spend 100 days in Appalachia. Oh, those poor journos, going to live with the savages in Crackerland.

They’ve been doing this shit since they turned a squabble over a pig into the Kardashians of their time.

I feel sorry for the folks in Appalachia for having to put up with the so-called journalist’s bullshit for that long.

It’s just an excuse for cityfolk to get likkered up on moonshine – since they watched the TV show they already know everything.

I hope the hillbillies have some fun.
“Sure, we all eat that stuff! Have some!”
“Drink this!”
The stories won’t be any more accurate, but they’ll at least be funnier.

I would think the journalists would consider such too dangerous. I mean, the Applachian folk probably own AND CARRY guns!!!

From what I read in that, it’s journalists that already live in Appalachia.

The comments are worth clicking over to read. The article itself is, of course, lefty drivel. Rob K, I don’t think working for WV Public Radio counts as “living in Appalachia”.

SQUEAL!

Doesn’t sound like very many of you read the article. The journalists LIVE in Appalachia and are trying to show the rest of the nation that the area ISN’T the stereotypical “hillbillies” that the MSM has been making them out to be for the last 100 years.

And like the recent cover of Variety magazine where various left of center celebrities show their patriotism by dragging a flag on the ground, the article online is illustrated with what appears to be a violation of the unenforceable “flag code” 4 U.S.C. § 8(d).
I wonder if using the flag in your editorial photo composition when you have no clue about flag etiquette counts as cultural-appropriation?

Still has the flavor of “Jane Goodall going to the jungle to live with the chimpanzees” if you ask me.

@Dave, more like the dumbass that went to commune with Alaskan brown bears; observing them, living among them, trying to be one of them. Until they ate him.
