The Nielson report has no details. The way I read this
is:

If Stewart has 40,000 viewers and 80% have four year
degrees and O'Reilly has 2 million viewers and 60%
have four year degrees than viewers of the Daily show
are more likely to have four year degrees.

Since I don't have the details I was willing to wager
rather than state as fact.
