“I think that one of the things we need to recognize is that today’s young people are really not getting the news from the traditional sources,” said UMW Professor of Political Science Stephen Farnsworth. “Now increasingly we find that young people are finding out about politics through political humor, through these late-night shows.”

Professor Farnsworth was interviewed on the show to discuss his new coauthored book, “Late Night in Washington: Political Humor and the American Presidency.”
