I agree that exposure to different cultures is a crucial aspect of why urban populations are different than rural/suburban populations. In fact, I would say it is that distinction much more so than media that controls the disparity in culture between the two general types of population in this country. Media is but a reflection, twisted, sanitized, amplified - but still nothing more than a reflection.
One could even say that this twisted, sanitized, amplified reflection of urban culture being presented to the rural/suburban population is prompting that population to push back with greater urgency. But the underlying difference remains the exposure to multiple viewpoints and how this exposure contributes to a higher degree of acceptance for any alternative viewpoints.
