Don't Tell Bill O'Reilly...

...But those 'stoners' who watch Stewart/Colbert are still smarter than his audience-

...Pew judged the levels of knowledgeability (correct answers) [of current events/politics] among those surveyed and found that those who scored the highest were regular watchers of Comedy Central's The Daily Show and Colbert Report. They tied with regular readers of major newspapers in the top spot -- with 54% of them getting 2 out of 3 questions correct. Watchers of the Lehrer News Hour on PBS followed just behind.

Virtually bringing up the rear were regular watchers of Fox News. Only 1 in 3 could answer 2 out of 3 questions correctly. Fox topped only network morning show viewers...

Yes, I know it's hard to believe that the shows that do intelligent and obscure political satire would have more informed viewers than the network where the 'anchors' yell at the camera, but it's apparently true.

[PS- NPR listeners not as informed as expected? Too much 'This American Life' perhaps, not enough news.]
