Two important stories from March 11, both of which are likely related: The Washington Post, dated March 11, 2015: “Americans are moving faster than ever away from traditional TV”:

Between 2012 and 2014, viewers ages 50 through 64 watched one hour and 12 minutes less of traditional TV each week; they increased viewing of videos over the Internet by 22 minutes. Viewers ages 35 through 49 watched two hours and five minutes less of traditional TV each week and increased viewing of online videos by 35 minutes.

The second story, from the Associated Press: “Major survey finds record low confidence in government“:

The 2014 General Social Survey finds only 23 percent of Americans have a great deal of confidence in the Supreme Court, 11 percent in the executive branch and 5 percent in Congress.

Great news!
