Educated

In the halls of the intellectual elites there exist a mass of people who are, euphemistically referred to, as the great uniformed. Indeed polls show that many people interviewed on the street are not well educated in the matters of government. However, a large part of that group does watch cable TV news and they are fairly well informed. It is interesting that Fox News which tends to be conservative has more viewers than the liberal stations of CNN and MSNBC combined. Fox News is so popular that it not only leads in news cable stations but all cable stations which include various entertainment channels. Gallop shows that twice as many Americans identify as conservative verses liberal. This closely aligns with the 70% who are not college graduates. This formal education divide keeps cropping up in different ways. This is a difference I was not aware of until the past election brought it to the forefront.
