This post is really about Rick Reilly’s reaction to Michael Jordan’s Hall of Fame speech, and not so much about the speech itself.

And the answer? Here’s Pew:
The regular audience for the news parody program The Colbert Report is somewhat better educated than the regular audience for the Daily Show with Jon Stewart (39% college graduates vs. 30%). Both [...]
