"The attentive audience for political, international and financial news tends to be better educated and middle-aged. Whites and blacks express comparable levels of interest (32% for whites, 35% for blacks), but Hispanics are less apt to follow hard news closely (23%). Republicans pay somewhat more attention (at 38%) than do Democrats or independents (30% each)."

By "The attentive audience", they mean simply those who are tuned to international and financial news, not those who are "looking at issues in detail or arguing them well" as you previously stated. In other words they are saying only that 38% of Republicans follow the hard news, while 30% of Democrats follow the hard news. You need to be edjucated like nobody's business. You have made the mistake of mentally joining one of the two "teams". Turn of your fucking talk radio and think for yourself. Don't you realize that you sound identical to a "liberal" retard who is railing on about the heartless, unenlightened, unedjucated, conservative lemmings. Both teams are for retards who are to lazy to think for themselves. Stop being such a fag.
