I will give you that concerning your remarks in 125, but stand by my remarks based on many of your previous comments on this forum.
125 wasn't an assumption. It was a clear conclusion from the posts above.

So they are "low brow folks" because they don't agree with you and buy into the sewage spewed daily by the left and their many left leaning news outlets.
Just for the record:
Oct 31, 2017 - TV Newser
"Fox News won the cable news ratings war yet again.
The network defeated rivals CNN and MSNBC in total day and in prime time both in total viewers and A25-54 news demo in October 2017. This victory means that Fox News is the most-watched cable news network for a whopping 190 consecutive months.
Not only did Fox News defeat its cable news rivals, but it finished as basic cable’s most-watched network for the 16th consecutive month in total day. FNC finished No.2 in total prime time viewers across basic cable, falling short only to ESPN."
You try to make the argument that because more people view fox news, that it is somehow not "low brow". Note, there is no logical reason to assume that number of viewers is in any way linked to being "correct" or "not lowbrow" or any other characteristic other than "popular".

Not really, it is clearly easy to see that there are way more low brow folks on the left than the right. Do the math, total the viewers for CNN, ABC, NBC and MSNBC vs FNC. The left wins hands down.
In this post, after Brew then stated "chess is more popular than checkers" you reverse your initial incorrect argument that (and I paraphrase) "fox is not low-brow because it's the most popular news network" (an incorrect logical conclusion) to now state that "the left is lowbrow because there are more total viewers for channels I deem to be the left equivalent of fox".
You make so many irrational assumptions in this quote that one doesn't really know where to start. But the clearest point is that you wrote two posts which state two completely opposite, and BOTH completely incorrect things.
It's almost amazing in its failure as an argument. Thus your failure in deductive reasoning.
You failed in the first post, because you incorrectly reasoned that popularity and "not lowbrow" correlate.
You failed in the second post by simply reversing your statement and reasoning that popularity and "low brow" correlate.
You failed in the entire thread because you posted both sides of that argument one after the other.
And that's ignoring the many logical missteps you made in even coming to those irrational conclusions.
