When This Blows Over

Everybody thinks people who disagree with them are "low
information" and the fact is we all pick our own
information sources.
The regular Rush Limbaugh listener isn't likely a regular
DailyKos reader, and they all are very well informed with
the information they curate to validate their worldview.
Sometimes many of them try to break out of their comfort
zones and see what the other side has to say, but they'll still
approach that with a more critical eye.
True "low information voters" don't follow any of it at all,
and give about as much a rat’s ass about political matters
as I do about Pakistani cricket heroes.
Your last sentence is exactly the description Rush used, as
stated by others above. Most people intentionally avoid news
and are therefore Low Information Voters. It's not a
pejorative, as Ms. Lehmann assumes, but the people she
thought were using it were using it as an insult.
The broader point you appear to make may be valid,
but studies have shown that conservatives rely on a
wide range of sources from liberal MSM which are
everywhere and unavoidable to the news consumer
- from academic journals, internet, and association
with other free-thinking types. Progressives tend to
cocoon themselves in places like KOS and HuffPo so
they do not encounter those rude people who think
differently.
