If reading is the only driver to voting preference

Reading is a powerful tool because writing/publishing has a very low barrier to entry.

By contrast, audio and video tend to carry incrementally higher cost for production/distribution.

But you do still need peer groups with good politics to send you in the right direction. You can't expect good politics to emerge ex nihilio across an entire population.
