Nearly One-Third of Younger Americans See Colbert, Stewart As Alternatives to Traditional News Outlets


Nearly One-Third of Younger Americans See Colbert, Stewart As Alternatives to Traditional News Outlets

Nearly one-third of Americans under the age of 40 say satirical
news-oriented television programs like The Colbert Report and The Daily Show
with Jon Stewart are taking the place of traditional news outlets.

Thirty-two percent (32%) of adults ages 30-39 believe this to be
true, while 42% disagree, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national
telephone survey.

While it is refreshing to see that 42% of people under 40 don't see Colbert and Stewart as news sources... an alarming number, almost 1/3, do see these comics as taking the place of traditional news outlets.
Regretfully Rasmussen didn't identify these morons who get their news from Comedy Central so they could be branded, sterilized and have their voting privileges revoked.
