Network news viewers are declining in unprecedented rates, from an average of 48 million nightly network news viewers in 1985 to 24.5 million in 2013, according to Pew Research analysis of Nielsen Media Research data.
Young people aged 18-29 are the least likely to watch network news regularly (only 11 percent did so in 2012), and 49 percent of people in this age group say they never watch the news.

Have read that the grunge generations think the Comedy Channel shows are legitimate news, that is where they get their opinions.........

Don’t forget online sources like Yahoo News, Bing, and others.

No surprise. Most younger folks are cutting loose, what they watch comes from Hulu, DVDs and the like.
The mainstream press has been the propaganda arm of the DNC for so long, I stopped watching years ago.

the share of Americans who regularly watch a nightly network news program – ABC, CBS, and NBC – has declined from 60 percent in 1993 (the earliest available measure) to just 27 percent in 2012.
And that's the way it is.
I tried to remember, back when I had tv, the last network newscast I watched...I can't be sure. I think it was in the previous century.

I’ve mentioned this dozens of times on FR, same thing with newspapers.
Yet so many want to avoid social media thus allowing the progressives to indoctrinate our millenials.

Exactly! Which is why the Right needs to develop it's own versions of Comedy Central, and their own hoists to counter Jon Stewart and that idiot Colbert. The only way we're ever going to reach and deprogram Generation.com is through pop culture, 'cause they don't watch or listen to anything else!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

My brother believes that Sarah Palin said, "I can see Russia from my house."
I say, "That was Tina Fey."
He says, "Nope. I saw it on TV. Palin said it. Now she has to live with it."
Sigh.

Yup. And they can tell outrageous lies, and when called on it, claim “hey, we’re just a comedy show; we don’t have to be truthful.”

The watch “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report”. That’s why they voted like dimwits in the last two elections.

I’d say it differently — not much news being reported.
