News to me

Study this infographic for a moment . . . it represents regular viewership of the news - by age.


Where are you and your favorite news program on the list?

Surprised?

If I'm reading this right, 80% of adults under age 50 watch The Colbert Report and 75% of those same young and semi-young adults are watching The Daily Show.

I know, I know, if, like some of us, you're over 50, that may or may not be past your bedtime :)  But you can watch it any time of day or night online.

If you haven't been watching The Colbert Report for the last 8 years and/or The Daily Show for the last 17 years, you are probably like some of us, but not all of us "over 50's" . . . out of touch with what our future is interested in hearing and reading.  

If we think Colbert and Stewart are just comedians and don't matter . . . I think we might be wrong.

See infographic above.

And see for yourself.
