Is Mainstream News Dead?

I do feel that television news is dead because no one really watch television news anymore at my age. News has now become accessible anywhere. As of, television, the internet, your cell phone, iPods and any number of technologies. We have grown less dependent on just television news and have a greater ability of trusted sources. I do believe that some daily news programs are worth watching. Some news programs don't be concerned with covering everything, every minute something happens. I do feel that people would rather watch the news on the internet, or get some information off of twitter than just watching the daily news on television. And just finding something bad happening to someone, which no one wants to hear. But I do feel that the Mainstream news is dead, because overall, people would rather go on the internet than just sit and watch a 24 hour news report about someone doing something or complaining about something. I think some people choose to watch Comedy Central and get a laugh out than just watching a 24 hour daily news that don't seem to interest people.
I think the Comedy news shows, the Daily Show are so popular with the younger generation because, they sometimes make a joke out of things, and it gets more interesting daily for the younger generation. I do feel that this is a quality way to obtain news information because it seems to draw the biggest attention to this lack of faith in mainstream media.
