[lbo-talk] The Daily Show

[B.]

Daily Show viewers are better-informed politically?
That doesn't surprise me. But what about O'Reilly
talking about some "study" that "proved" 87%--yep,
87%--of viewers are "stoned slackers"?

[Does anybody know what study he was talking about,
anyway? He mentioned it in his interview with Stewart.
Or maybe this simply proves stoned slackers have a
better grip on reality than others.]

PHILADELPHIA -- Viewers of late-night comedy programs,
especially The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on the
cable channel Comedy Central, are more likely to know
the issue positions and backgrounds of presidential
candidates than people who do not watch late-night
comedy, the University of Pennsylvania's National
Annenberg Election Survey shows.
