When statistics came out that showed about 1.38% of Fox News’ viewers were African-American, many people began to wonder: “Who are they?” Fortunately, Stephen Colbert sent out his crack research team to find out, and the results are shocking.
Usually, When Colbert wants “the latest news on Fox News, I turn to Fox News,” he joked, mocking the fact that Fox News often touts their ratings supremacy. The ratings play such a prominent role in their programming, Colbert argues, that he suggests they should “slap a wig on them and give them their own show.”
But what Fox News doesn’t mention, according to Colbert, are the ratings among African-Americans: a whopping 1.38%. “Personally,” he noted, “I didn’t know so many African-Americans were terrified of Barack Obama.”
Then he went into a breakdown of the numbers on the African-American side of the ratings scale, and discovered four categories of black Fox News watchers: people stuck watching at the Jiffy Lube, white people in blackface, people who said the name “Glenn Beck” three times into a mirror, and Juan Williams. The analysis was impressive to Colbert: “In fact, the only way these sky-high numbers aren’t impressive is if you compare them to something.”
