How are low-income families portrayed in the news?

Low income families have always been portrayed as unintelligent and gullible. There was a news story in Mobile, Alabama ,where a huge population of low income families reside, that there was a leprechaun sighting in the neighborhood. Of course it was fake because everyone knows that leprechaun are not real. All the witnesses of the mythical creature were low income people showing that they are capable of believing that such a creature would live in their neighborhood. This was mainly due to the editing done by the news agencies. All their footage was set up to lead to the same result. Everyone who sees this news footage now believe all low income people are the same.
