More and more Americans are getting their news from satirical sources. This is the best news we’ve ever heard.
Here’s how Rasumussen Reports reports their report:
Nearly one-third of Americans under the age of 40 say satirical news-oriented television programs like The Colbert Report and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart are taking the place of traditional news outlets.
Thirty-two percent (32%) of adults ages 30-39 believe this to be true, while 42% disagree, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.
Thirty percent (30%) of those ages 18-29 say programs like the two Comedy Central shows that feature news reports with a comic twist are replacing traditional news outlets, but 35% disagree and another 35% are not sure.
The only problem these days is trying to figure out if you’re watching news that’s news, news that’s satire, satire that’s news, or satire that’s satire.
It’s a complex world we live in.

My assumption is you are differentiating between satirical news (Jon Stewart) and fake news (ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, etc)?
