Must Magazines be Dumbed Down to the Level of the Limbaugh Listener?

(OKLAHOMA CITY) In defense of the recent Obama cover in the New Yorker magazine I will say there is nothing elite, effete, or big city about its contents.

Yes, the front pages, in the very small type, cover the New York activities scene of arts, entertainment, movies, shows, etc.

If anyone would read the articles themselves, in the big type, they would find many newsworthy articles that cover a wide range of human interests.

For just one very relevant example, I would like to remind everyone that Seymour Hersh has scooped the main stream media with several stories in the New Yorker about the Bu$h Junta's use of the illegal Iraq War for its political gain.

It has also covered global warming, health issues, and has a weekly profile of a mover and shaker in nearly every human endeavor from the most blue-collar to the most urbane.

So because Limbaugh listeners, who may or may not be able to read and need to have their opinions recited to them by rote and don't understand satire or camp, are magazines supposed to dumb down their content to the level of the average Limbaugh automaton?
