I was raised on NPR and my daughter is being raised on NPR (as well as Radio Romania and Poland). I just don't see the draw to the Colbert Report and Daily Show and find that these types of shows (taken seriously) is part of the problem in our political system. I guess I just find it all to be 'Pop Politics.'telcoman wrote:
The Daily Show is where many of the young start to hear about what is in the news. Many of them start reading the MSM when some of the jokes go over their head.
Many candidates are now willing to make appearances with Jon Stewart along with Saturday Night Live

A third of FOX's viewers are Democrats:
The study found that 51% of CNN's regular viewers are Democrats, compared to 18% Republicans. Fox News' audience leans Republican but is more balanced overall, with 39% of regular viewers declaring themselves Republicans compared to 33% declaring themselves Democrats. MSNBC's regular audience is 45% Democrat and 18% Republican.

That'd be a real scientific poll.
Someone has misled you into thinking that this is a metric that can even be MEASURED adequately.
I'd argue that people who watch more than 2 hours of TV per day are less intelligent than those who watch less.... Now THAT would have some statistical accuracy, but mostly because of interrelated factors.
Let's get back on track.
