This is also typical of the average American.  We're like 34th in math, but 1st in confidence in math.  It's brutal.

The main thing I see if folks seeking "news" that makes them feel better, even if it's horrible for someone else.  Confirmation bias.

I think most of the "real news" is confusing, complicated, and too much work.

I haven't watched a local nightly newscast in months.When they couldn't even remotely forecast the weather accurately for a day it's time to pack it in.Even 60 minutes sold out when the big boys they use to rat out bought them up - now it's entertainment tonite

I find it pointless to watch news on TV when I can read whatever I want on line quickly and without commercials.  The wife watches and sometimes I'm around.

What annoys me is the constant opening of articles online, where they pop up video telling me the exact same thing that I can read in the article. 

If I wanted to watch TV, I'd watch TV. Let me read my internet in peace.

people who pan Fox/CNN et al grossly overestimate the # of viewers they reach.   they are useful bogeymen to be sure.   the same should be said for John Oliver, previously Stewart, Maher, etc. etc.

Yeah I know quite a few people that get their "news" from Oliver, Stewart, etc.  It's pretty frightening.  

I mean, I like watching those guys do their comedy bits, I find them pretty amusing for the most part.  But it's really no different than saying you get your "news" from Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update.
