The uneducated, who by and large do not follow current events closely,
are simply not responsive to the same stimuli as the better-educated
and more affluent, who do tend to follow the news. At the moment,
Republican and Democratic leaders, the nation's cue-givers, are in
agreement and supportive. And informed citizens have no independent
flow of contradictory information.
