I told them that element was ALWAYS here, maybe even more predominantly before, because these 3 counties were not as occupied by TV population 8+ years ago, but the difference now is that their mug shots are put on the front page of that site.

THAT is not the face of TV. But some are led to portray it as taken over by a few morons or criminals that are pretty typical in any city of 100,000 or less.
Sad to hear they're so fearful!! That said, I've heard from folks who've been here 8, 10 or more years express how they're not liking the size T.V. has gotten to be. They wish it was still the quiet place when they moved here. BUT did they have the restaurants, shopping, grocery-stores, medical help etc. back then?? Change happens...and you're right crime is "there" even if it's not reported. It would be a lovely world "IF" we didn't have the instant information we get blasted at us daily. Some of it is factual and some isn't close (many times) and it's all about ratings and who can "get there" first!
