New study about FOX News

I think Fox "News" has convinced their viewers that real news outlets can't be trusted, so the kind of person who watches Fox doesn't pay attention to anything but Fox and right-wing talk radio. On top of that, Fox intentionally misinforms their viewers so that they don't have a real understanding of events aside from what Fox wants those viewers to think about events.

Yes, sad to say, I think many Fox News viewers don't keep up with current global events and only seem to be interested in the biased information that Fox News throws at them.

I think it's rather telling that even the writer of the article on Huffington post mocked the school that it came from. "The latest Princeton Review ranked the University of Maryland among the top schools for having ‘Students Who Study The Least’ and being the ‘Best Party School’ – given these fine academic distinctions, we’ll regard the study with the same level of veracity it was ‘researched’ with," Clemente said." Then there's the fact that the people who conducted the study were too stupid to verify the information they treated as "facts". Just to give one example. "--When TARP came up for a vote most Republicans opposed it (12 points)" They considered Fox News viewers uneducated because more of them believed this. However, they missed that it is a FACT that most Republicans opposed it. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2008/roll681.xml It literally takes 2 seconds of googling to find that out, but the people who conducted this study didn't even bother. They also claim that it's a false statement that "The economy is getting worse". I would say it's an OPINION rather than a fact one way or another. Also, whether or not the economy is getting worse also depends on where you live. Normally I'd point out that studies conducted with a clear political agenda are not reliable, but given that they were too stupid to know something as simple as how many republicans opposed TARP, I can't imagine they have the intelligence necessary to conduct a worthwhile study of anything.

Honestly isn't really a virtue for the huffpo crowd is it?

Hmmmm, and The Huff is so RELIABLE, right? Packed with George Soros nuts disguised as Jurinalists. I wish somebody would do a 'study' on The Huffington Post, and show how slanted and inaccurate their stories are. Seriously, you can't believe anything on that rag. You might as well take serious the fake news you get on Comedy Central. At least you get a laugh out of it. Have you ever watched Fox News? Why are you so hateful towards it?

I don' t acredit the Puffington Host with any real news and truths. So why would I even care about this news item. Everyone needs to keep in mind that Foxnews has two different types of programs. During the day the run news program. What is aired at night are color commentators, not news. So if one expects, as I kind assume the ones who did this study did, put these ranting commentators as the news, they are way off base.
