The target audience of media bias

"The primary audience of talk radio is those of us who are passionate about politics and are committed to a political ideology. We are not normal. "

"Normal people don’t care as much about politics or liberal versus conservative ideology as they care about sports, hobbies, their jobs, family activities, etc. They are not interested in taking the time to understand issues on a deep level. They want sound bites and headlines. They want to glean information efficiently, form quick opinions and move onto something else more enjoyable. "

This article is an interesting take on the role of the media in the lives of the general public. Whether you are decidedly liberal or conservative, the mass media is not speaking to you. They are speaking mainly to those with little or no opinion. Try not to be one of these. Please.
