This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Idiots watch conservative news. Got it.
I mean, we knew that like 100 years ago but. Polls.
And the New York Times is there too
Now we have to answer the question : are less educated people drawn to right wing news or are conservative news drawn to less educated people ?
I believe that the conventional wisdom here is that higher education tends to expose you to new ideas that directly challenge the conservative mindset.
Personally i think there are a lot of quite intelligent conservative politicians, so i would hazard to guess that they have identified the easiest blocs of general public to influence and sway the votes they require.
Could you do it quietly? Kthx.
You think IQ is a measure of intelligence?
I'm guessing you didn't go to college.
IQ is a measurement showing how good you are at solving IQ tests.
