There’s a reason for it
From last Thursday’s Daily Show with Jon Stewart:
Jon Stewart: People aren’t watching the news as much.
Katie Couric: I know, they actually consider you their primary source of news.
It’s definitely true for the younger audiences, but even just in the general sense, there is a good reason for this: Jon Stewart is actually doing real reporting and criticism.
Sigh. I’m concerned about the future of the world.
