LITTLE HOCKING, Ohio (Reuters) - While revelations that Donald Trump Jr. welcomed Russian help in last year's presidential election roil Washington, asking about it along southern Ohio's Appalachian Highway can draw some pretty strange looks.
In the mostly rural, heavily Baptist and predominately Trump-supporting terrain, the collective reaction ranges from ignorance about the Russia investigation, to a belief that some media want to destroy Republican President Donald Trump and his family, to complete disinterest.
Many of the 20 people interviewed in several Ohio towns were dismissive of the barrage of headlines about a June 2016 meeting between Trump's eldest son Donald Jr. and a woman he was told was a Russian government lawyer who might have damaging information about Democratic election rival Hillary Clinton.
The revelation was made when Trump Jr. released a series of emails on Tuesday amid investigations of U.S. intelligence agency conclusions that Moscow sought to help Trump win. Russia has denied allegations of interfering in the election and Trump has denied his campaign colluded with Russian officials, sometimes dismissing the notion as "fake news."

I am hearing some quiet rumblings from even LIBERAL Obama voters here in Demon Rat south Florida who are also making fun of the media’s Russia drumbeat. They really do not like Trump, but they’re laughing at the media nonsense over Russia.
Great disappointment from fake news that no one cares about this garbage.
I love it when they try to use that word on me and my fellow PhD Trump supporters.
And interestingly enough you never get these kinds of “Liberals in San Francisco, LA and NYC seem unfazed by the repeated proof of Hillary (or Obama, or Bill Clinton) lies or investigations (I’m sorry Loretta, “matters”).”
Just another way the MSM frames their news to fit their preexisting narrative.
I don’t interact with a lot of Democrats, but of ALL the Republicans I have met since Nov (and I speak to a lot of GOP groups), not one has abandoned Trump. Not one.
However, my friend’s dad voted Cankles in November, and now is solid Trump.
Good observations.
I did not vote for President in 2016 (Blank) But now I support Trump because of policies like judicial picks, border enforcement (rule of law), Repeal and Replace Obamacare, and Tax reform.
It IS that simple.
Agreed the this post 100%
I’m an appo-hwy-buckeye and Reuters needs to read Alan Deshowitz.
Otherwise, they’re just ignorant.
