Study says Fox News viewers know less about News than those who watch no news

A liberal is just a conservative who hasn't been robbed yet. I think it's prudent to carry a weapon...legally of course.

 

I would suggest that people who read the news in a newspaper or online are better informed than those who watch news on TV.

 

Good to see the Harry Potter guy getting more work.

 

But the organization made a judgment last fall that taps into that credibility account. The decision was to take $1.8 million from the Open Society Foundations. It's funded by left-leaning billionaire financier-philanthropist George Soros, who made his fortune in hedge funds and currency speculation.

The money is for a worthy purpose.

NPR is using the two-year grant as seed money to start a local-national initiative, known as the Impact on Government project. Eventually, the plan is to have two public radio reporters in every state keeping tabs on state government issues that are woefully under-reported by the media. This is to be a multi-media project for radio, the Web and social media.

It doesn't really matter because it doesn't show up in their broadcast.

They're news reporting is fair. Covers all it's bases. Asks all the big W questions. And apologizes for mistakes.

Never do you hear them spout nonsense about socialism. Never do you hear them spout nonsense about fascism. It's always either fact or fair political analysis. I listen every day and I haven't heard very many left wing rants on NPR. The day I start hearing that on a regular basis is the day I no longer listen to NPR.

 

It's 3 pages. Don't be lazy. Just scan for the big red merc with a mouth.

 

Definitely depends WHERE they get their news online. The internet is mostly unfiltered garbage.

 

Ok, i'm curious, what percentage of conservatives on this forum watch FNC on a regular basis? That'd be a pretty good barometer for the accuracy of this study

 

It's all the same people who would sooner call you an idiot ******* than actually debate with you.

Or all the people who actually believe the Community Reinvestment Act actually had something to do with the Subprime crisis. Such a freakin joke.

 

Wow... it is 11 pages on my PC. Guess you are only counting the pages you like?

And the insult, no matter how lame, is just sad and tends to reduce the validity of whatever you say in your posts. It reduces your opinion to that of a bad clown.

Regardless, guess you aren't proud enough of the study to repost it so I'll go and find it... when I have time to waste since just by your own apathy for the study, I can guess it is probably crap journalism and bad science.

Still, if I have time to find it, I'll read it. Until then... this thread is akin to reading the World News and just another waste of time.

 

I think the quote in my signature sums it up pretty well.

 

Personal attacks aren't really necessary, Frodly. Here's some substance for you -- from the 'study' quoted in the OP:

Pretty limited study. Funny Huffpo's headlines don't reflect that fact.

 

I don't get FNC since I cannot afford cable or satellite TV. If it isn't available via the public's free OTA, I don't see it. Sorry.

 

LOL It's even linked to in the OP article. Sheesh.

 

Uh, Sorry, but no it isn't. That's some touts article ABOUT the study which tells us nothing but his potential bias on the study.

Need a link to the STUDY and not some talking/typing heads opinion on what the study actually says and how it said it.

Maybe no one has seen the study here in this thread which makes EVERYONE's opinion in the thread just a mirror of their own bias?

 

The article links to it. See how some of the text is orange in the article?

 

The whole premise is stupid.
I mean, really - that people who watch FOX know less about news than those who watch no news at all.....

ROFL.

Where do the liberals who watch FOX fit in? Part stupid?

 

I disagree. There are plenty of cases where NPR has displayed bias. Probably the best list is found on a right-wing site (of course), but the evidence is overwhelming. Here's the list:

If blondes are your thing... Me I prefer dark hair or red head...

 

They've got that, too.

 

Omg, Rotfl!!!

 

They are all white and have blonde hair...

 

I think the story is totally bogus. A survey done by a liberal professor, at a liberal college, probably conducted by liberals who just plain fudged the numbers. Seriously, it is a totally bogus survey of only a very small number of New Jerseyans. Too small to actually qualify as a scientific survey. A survey of this sort ought to be done on a nation wide basis. The results are so bad as to be suspicious. Fox viewers end up worst on almost every question? Enough to make the survey questionable.

 

The libs always point out Ann Coulters adams apple. Look at the adams apple on this androgynous dog in heat.
