Unfortunately I could not find the complete survey but only some news items that report about the findings. Have a look <a href="http://www.welt.de/fernsehen/article1456599/Zuschauer_verstehen_Tagesschau_nicht_mehr.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://www.netzeitung.de/medien/229595.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Well, I do not know how widespread the problem is and whether it also applies to international politics (the findings quoted in the articles mention only terms used in the domestic debate in Germany...). Now it would be interesting to see the exact methodology because these kind of surveys are sometimes controversial in this respect. I know I was rather lazy when writing the post ;-)

Excellent video by the way. Two questions: what is the name of the survey and if you recall what was meant by “don’t understand” the news on TV?
