The specific topic doesn't enter into the level of intelligence. The Wall Street Journal's intended audience is people with 7th grade intelligences who have an interest in economics and the stock market. US Weekly's intended audience is people with 7th grade intelligences who have an interest in celebrity gossip and dieting. Sunday morning chat shows are for people interested in politics, but they are not targeting people who are more intelligent than any other journalistic enterprise. -- Kevin M.
