Jon Stewart And Stephen Colbert A Huge Threat To Fox News
Reported by Ellen - September 20, 2010 -
AlterNet digs into the recent Pew Research poll about news consumption and concludes that the younger demographic of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report signal a big threat to Fox News.
Author Jason Easley writes: The long term health of Fox News is going to depend on their ability to attract and retain younger viewers. These are the same viewers that are watching Jon Stewart expose and mock Fox News on a nightly basis. This is why FNC goes out of it’s way to impugn the credibility of Stewart anytime they can. It is funny to think that the competition that may do the most long term damage to Fox News is not Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow, but a comedian who hosts a nightly mock newscast on a comedy network.
