When I lived in many small towns, from Southern Illinois to Northern Illinois, Fox News was blaring everywhere I went, in banks, restaurants, and doctors' offices. And I watched these areas get redder and redder over the last few decades. I was a little shocked at first. Then it made more sense, as I realized how lily-white and culturally isolated and racially paranoid most of these towns were. And Fox News was playing that for all it was worth. Now the governor is a rich Republicon.
