Obviously anyone can read Slate if they want to. The question is, do they want to? Do you think it's likely that the lower-income people they're talking about are choosing to read Slate?

I suppose Slate would know their own demographics better than anyone, so I guess not. I just found the reasoning behind the assertion pretentious. I think some low income people with children probably read Slate, and some of that group will read this article. The idea that since they read to the end of the article, they're somehow better or different than non Slate readers, is funny to me.
