Does Fake News Mislead the Public?

After reading issue nine, "Does Fake News Mislead the Public," I have come to an agreement. I absolutely believe that Fake News misleads the public in many ways. Not just the media, but also in print sources too. Reading this has made me come to realize that late night shows puts out false information for it's viewers, especially for a majority of people under the age of 30. A prime example can be The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. His shows are to be known for the humor part in the political remarks, rather then being filled with substances.
The late night show that Jon Stewart puts on, The Daily Show, is a widely known watched show all over the United States. Jon Stewart's shows are full of not just comedy, but comedy on politics. It is to be known that 21% of people under the age of thirty rely on this show for gaining and receiving facts on politics and campaigns. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart may be full of humor, and this is what can lead to false information and beliefs. The show may not be putting out false facts, but it is argued that uneducated people may believe in the facts Jon says and not get the "joke," that Jon Stewart was putting out. This leads to a kind of imagination. Which then leads them to the wrong understanding. This can affect a majority of people on their knowledge, beliefs and behaviors; which then can really screw up the campaign.
People are still debating whether The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is an informative late night show, or just a comedy show that is a joke. But the facts clearly show that people do take the show seriously, which rely and gain information from it about our campaign. People who rely on the network evening show for campaign information have almost the same percentage as those who watch The Daily Show. The network evening news have 23% of people who rely on it; which are the ages thirty and under. I believe that people can argue all they want, but when the result's come in, it tells all. The network news only has 2% more people that watch their stations, then the late night (comedy) shows.
Either way I believe that both the news and the late night shows are both filled with truthful and valuable information. Americans are going to need to learn something about who they vote for; therefore they need some form of direction. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart may mislead people in the wrong direction with the jokes, but what can you do? It's a show, anyone is going to believe what they hear on television, true or false. To me the news is dull and boring, so when you find something with a little comedy in it, then why not try it out? This makes the televisions network is the primary source of news and information for the presidential elections, so this makes the printed sources secondary. But yes, the answer is yes, fake news does mislead the public.
