I'm not sure the type of people who don't read or watch any news are the type of people to care about their first amendment rights.

Considering the junk that's flying in this age as news, I don't blame them for not watching TV or not reading newspapers.

This study showed that people who DO watch (one particular) channel of news are LESS informed than those who don't watch or read news at all: http://slatest.slate.com/posts/2011/11/21/fairleigh_dickinso...

True, but mainly because they take their rights for granted. They would definitely notice if they were taken away.
