For better or worse, do these "leaders" not get TV stations to show up when they hold a press conference? One could possibly blame the media for helping these people to perpetuate the stereotype of hopelessness. Why is it that dissenters with these leaders are generally thought to be running against the grain of "the community"?
I think that the problems are largely cultural, but produced and perpetuated by socioeconomic factors more than anything else (or am I just stating the obvious?).
