A quick bit of opinion from the news

I was clicking through the Yahoo! news top stories and came across this:

From: http://news.yahoo.com/why-i-trust-young-voters-more-than-any-politician.html

I read the piece, it's an opinion, at some points I disagree, at other points I do agree. But that's not what caught my eye. The caption that the Yahoo! writers have chosen to lead into this story is:

"The Def Jam co-founder believes this generation has the potential to shape the next 40 years."

All I have to add is, "duh?"
