Many people think the 18-30 demographic age grooup is getting it’s news and politic idealogy from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Based on Nielsen reports, this may be true. Some might say getting your news from “fake” news shows is probably the number one most uninformed thing you can do as a college student. Others might argue these “fake” news shows are the only place one might actually here some real truths through the use of irony and sarcasm by the shows’ hosts. What do you say?
I do believe that many people between the 18-30 age group are getting their news from Jon Stewart and Steohen Colbert. I am one of them. I frequently watch these shows to get the latetest news today with a more entertaining twist. I would not call it fake news, it is like almost anyother news. It has a political slant and when your watching Jon Stewart show,or any other news for that matter, you just have to take that into concideration. I do however believe that the Jon Stewart show shouldn’t be the only place where people in my age rage pull their take on whats going on with our world.
