Colbert Does Oregon

A lot of people know of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart." In fact, in the 18-35 age group, more people get their news from this satirical "fake news" show than any of the "real" news shows. Longtime favorite correspondent Steven Colbert left the show several months back to start his own show, The Colbert Report, airing immediately after The Daily Show. While The Daily Show is a parody on the typical evening news show, The Colbert Report is more a parody of the pundit news show. And it's hilarious. Anyway, he has one segment called "Better Know a District" where he goes one by one through the 433 congressional districts in the US, profiles them, and interviews their representative. Two of them aired recently featuring Oregon's 3rd and 5th districts. Here, they are, courtesy YouTube, for your viewing pleasure. Oregon's 3rd Oregon's 5th
