Stewart/Colbert are both on a comedy channel, if anyone is getting news from them rather than entertainment, then yes they would fall under the stupid category, for more than one reason.
I don't recall where I got the numbers about the media not producing content at the same level as they once did. However, even if it's still 9th/10th grade that's still greatly below the reading level of laws, acts, gov regs, and so on.
