>>Comparing the audience for NPR doesn't challenge the conclusion that conservatives seem to be more informed and more broadly interested in news events than liberals. The fact that any conservatives at all listen to NPR actually supports the conclusion.<<

Bill -

Uh huh. And some liberals watch Fox, O'Reilly, etc.

NPR was only one example I used. I was using it to illustrate the point that your method for interpreting the data is faulty.

The reason the figures for the general public are given is that it's necessary to make comparisons between those figures and the audience percentages in order to properly interpret the data.

But you are free to draw whatever conclusion comforts you.
