Only 6% of Americans read blogs: study

A new study of 68,664 people from Forrester Research found that only 6% of Americans reported reading blogs.
The study, widely mentioned in the main stream media, also found that only 2% of Americans reported using RSS.
However, what was not made clear from the study results is whether the participants were actually asked if they knew what a blogs or RSS was, a problem that has been discovered previously, where many people read blogs or use RSS services (including My Yahoo!) without realizing the name of the technology they were viewing or using.
Wasn’t there just a study saying there’s a new blog started every second? Sounds conflicting.
What percent of Americans read newspapers? What cable news?

That’s what I want to know also, esp. the newspaper stats.
