O’Reilly Factor Asks Probing Political Questions of… Miley Cyrus Fans

If there’s one thing the news loves, it’s pounding away at the idea that young people are uninformed and don’t care about the world around them. And in that grand spirit, The O’Reilly Factor‘s Jesse Watters did a special investigation into the political knowledge of people who go to Miley Cyrus concerts.

Here are some of the words Miley fans used when Watters showed a picture of Joe Biden: “old,” “boring, pale,” “Republican,” and “Cheney.” John Kerry? One person said, “Oh my God he’s on a late night show isn’t he?”

Very few of them knew could place Vladimir Putin, but all of them recognized Katy Perry. Cue Watters and Bill O’Reilly laughing at them and wondering if they have jobs and O’Reilly saying he called it ahead of time that they would know nothing and har har, et cetera.
