My guess is the ABC24 audience is fairly well educated, intelligent, calculating and cynically wise to the ways of the world because of their age and life's experience. Obvious social engineering programmes like QANDA are targetted to an audience that can't compete with life's travails, but I doubt the majority of the ABC demographic see's it as representing their value system.
To my mind it's the lazy thinkers who are attracted to Channel 10's propaganda programmes like "The Panel" that are the bigger threat. They are inculcating a generation with fantasy notions of fair play, outrage and umbrage. From my sampling they are allow subversive elements to present a sanitised view of violent religions and counter cultures dressed up in western camouflage and smiling faces.
Channel 7 and Channel 9 rarely present anything that gets to the meat of a headline.
