"The results show us that there is something about watching Fox News that leads people to do worse on these questions than those who don't watch any news at all," he said.
it does not surprise me. They talk about Obama's birth certificate, to Oreilly's crappy book on Lincoln, to bashing democrats. They barely give a 5 min summary a day on what is actually going on in the news world.
the only one that gets my respect is that Greta chick. She not only smart, but sexy too, I bet she is an animal in bed
Fairleigh inson political science professor Dan Cassino stresses that because of the survey controls that were implemented, it's not true that Republicans in general were uninformed about current events. But rather it was specifically Fox viewers who scored poorly.
Do you not know that there is a difference between Fox NEWS and Fox opinion personalities? Try watching between 6 and 7 and telling us they don't cover the NEWS.
If you bothered to read the survey, you would've seen that the results are all over the place. "Just 47% of are able to identify the Occupy Wall Street protestors as predominately Democratic: 11% think they are Republicans. Viewers of cable news on MSNBC are most likely to think the protestors are Republicans. Watching the left leaning MSNBC news channel is associated with a 10 point increase in the likelihood of misidentifying the protestors."

What do they cover the other 23 hours?
I honestly don't watch them 24 hours a day and have no idea, I was just making the point that Fox NEWS (Shepard Smith and co.) is a quite good world news program. You should not confuse Fox OPINION/ENTERTAINMENT (O'Reilly, Hannity, etc.) with Fox NEWS.
I think the point of the thread is to show that most fox bots can't tell the difference between the news and opinion shows..
Or fact and fantasy
You are certainly one of the forums leading experts on fantasy...
This
Shepperd Smith is a liberal isn't he?
I wouldn't call him a raving liberal like Matthews or Maddow but he is damn sure balanced in his news presentation and doesn't favor one side over the other...it's pretty much...here are the facts, make your own decision...
"Us" sure as doesn't include anyone with a rational mind.
Fox News is all about getting white men to worry about poor people and minorities and not about corporations and special interest. You watch their editorials for any amount of time and it becomes quite obvious.
Its been a long, long tradition in American as the southern planters used to do the same thing to the poor ass free farmers to insure their vote.
Lo and behold CC thinks unions and poor people are to problem AND thinks Fox News is actually fair and balanced. Its a ing travesty.
I did bother to read the survey.
The more slanted the editorial opinion, the worse the viewers did at answering questions correctly.
Fox news, having the most slanted editorial policies, generally did worse than other groups.
Not sure why you are getting all pissy over a manifestation of human nature. It is what it is. Confimation bias leads people to seek out things they already agree with, and the stronger the bias, the more likely they are to seek out things they already agree with.
See: Conservapedia.
You read the survey?
Media Matters (lolz) pins their headline on whether or not Fox viewers grok the Egyptian uprising. In the same survey MSNBC viewrs are less likely to correctly identify OWS players. Yet the OP focuses on Fox.
Not a problem? Of course not. *facepalm*
I also see that the fact that its a crap survey (Hint: Do any of the respondants get their
news from more than one platform?) seems to escape you as well. Thats OK too. Youre certainly not alone.
I watch FoxNews for the hotties but MSNBC has some hotties too.
I don't need to read the survey to know that it agrees with my pre-determined opinion and is therefore completely accurate, scientific and un-biased.You read the survey?

If you watch cable news much you're probably an idiot regardless of the channel of your choice. Bottom line in my book.
