After reading the article with two opposing viewpoints, I believe that Julia Fox has a less valid point. Younger people are not mislead by the fake news. People watch politics on the Daily Show and take it as a joke. Even though the Daily Show is full of humor and laughter, these shows aren't transmitting the full coverage of information; they are simply presenting the information in a funnier way. This brings the attention of the audience to an important issue to listen, even on late night shows. This tends to keep the audiences attention more then the boring news; which makes you fall asleep. The comedy in late night shows informed more younger viewers, and impacted them with more information then if a young viewer was to watch a regular news channel. Even though these shows aren't serious about the topic, it's something to listen to and have fun at the same time. Viewers can not be easily influenced by what the host says. If the host wants to make a candidate look better, he can. If he wants to make someone look bad, he can, but people take it as a joke.
