The upshot of this article, shorn of all it's chest-beating in favor of
right-wing concepts, is that AM talk radio has the ears of ignorant
people, there are far more ignorant people in America than educated
ones, therefore liberal AM talk won't work.


The article doesn't say the conservative audience is less educated than the
liberal audience. Check it out:

"But take another look at that map. The death knell you see lurking is
audience demographics (i.e. it's the economy, stupid). Red (Bush) vs. Blue
(Gore) is a distinction of ideology, but it is also, as frankly we know,
essentially a division of social class, race, and income. The red audience
is largely suburban, college educated, professional, middle class; the blue
(potential) audience more urban, less well educated, lower income. And this
difference will matter infinitely more in the radio booth than the voting
booth."

In fact, the article says about the audiences:

(Bush), college educated

(Gore), less well educated

Perhaps the author might have been clearer if he had used Blue for True Blue
Americans and Red for Commie Simp Pinkos.


Can't argue with that.
