Stephen Colbert is not a "news" show but a comedy. That's why it is on Comedy Central.
However, the media likes to treat him as a "news" channel and draws from his show and place it into theirs. I've seen it.

Even though my gut wants a general knowledge test requirement, it's against the principals of the United States to require such a thing. I believe a general knowledge test about the candidate(s) would "enlightened" people a bit.
Funny story. This one guy was taking a video of him in the voting booth. You could tell he was a millennial and pretty liberal. Anyways, he picks Hillary Clinton and then goes, "oh... Well, her name sounds pretty" and proceeds to vote for someone that he doesn't know.
As Winston Churchill said, "The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter".
