It's usually an annotation because Internet/phone penetration among the rural, uneducated, and poor in those countries isn't great. They don't have means to survey these people. Surveying the people who do have access to Internet is representative of what "normal people" feel.

The only reputable international sources with journalists actually on the ground are Al Jazeera, Associated Press, and Reuters.
