32. the article doesn't BEGIN to support the hype
the "study" says people who watch the Daily show are more cynical which COULD lead to them not voting. It does NOT say they do not vote even though the article implies that.

Is there a study that says cynical people don't vote? I'm the most cynical person I know and I have never missed an election.

Oh, and while you're there, read the NEXT article in the set: Headlined: Miserly Republicans, Unprincipled Democrats Sounds bad for Dems, right? Read the article, not so. The so called study was based, apparently, on showing people articles on Katrina victims, some black, some white and asking how much you'd give them. Dems averaged $1500 a month for 13 months, Repubs averaged $1200 for 9 months. It doesn't say how that breaks down by race.

Maybe the study shows, but the article doesn't. Is the author nuts or just GOP?
