      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.
