Politics and TV

 

 Liberals love Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, conservatives are all over CBS's programming. Experian Simmons' new study examining politics and TV viewership doesn't really report anything new, but I'd like to see an age breakdown of this study. From what I can see, conservatives are apparently either old or rednecks or both, and liberals are all younger slightly snobby hipsters who like making fun of conservatives. Reading the liberal list is like looking at my imaginary DVR - I definitely fit the stereotype. I wonder what young conservatives or old liberals are watching... Do you think their preferences align more with their age groups or with their political leanings?

On which side of the aisle are your TV preferences?
