I don't think either party has a monopoly on intelligence. I would guess both probably have the same bell-curved spectrum of idiots and savants.
It doesn't make sense to me to say that "people" want to see "digested facts", "simplistic news", ot "spoon-fed opinions". Rather, there is a wide spectrum of news coverage that people are interested in. Any active media source has an audience. Some like in-depth analysis, some like shows with two hosts that debate issues, some like blogs, some like opinion pieces, some like interviews wth former cabinet members such as Lawrence Eagleburger and Henry Kissinger who have been making the rounds lately.
I'm a news junky. I like them all.
