Confirmed: Fox News makes people dumb(er)

After a study published last year labeled
viewers of Fox News as grossly misinformed, the researchers who
conducted the poll have expanded their work and now confirm, again, that
the network’s audience might want to consider changing the channel.

By broadening the study, though, can the university conclude that people
that get there news from Comedy Central are more informed that Fox
viewers? The short — and for now, seemingly indisputable answer — is
yes.

They forgot to include the same for CNN. Any MSM that restricts the process and skews the numbers to pigeonhole people on a certain "talking Points" agenda. Comedy Central is better than all of them, but some of the independent media like wearechange.com and infowars.com are leagues ahead of the reporters today

Let's do this again:

Ah the incestuous relationship between a liberal college and a progressive blog.
Their offspring will always be dubious "studies" like this.

They do this every year. The only that changes is the date. I hope no one is paying for these "studies".

I can kinda see why, but to be fair watching any highly biased news channel can do that to people.

It is absolutely killing them!@!!! After decades of totally OWNING the news media our liberal friends just can't stand people having a choice.

Oh! There was another study; This one was done by what I consider an impeccable source, me and I have concluded that those that watch only liberal media are less informed than those that watch only Fox.

Another Liberal commentator that hates FOX. I generally use CNN / ABC and hit FOX usually early in the morning. Got the 2 hottest women newscasters of all networks at 4:30 AM CST ! However my personal take is FOX is really no different then the rest other then they lean right rather then left. The only people I ever see bash them with extreme negative comments are LWNJ's. Obama lovers.

Let's see, they studied Fox News to find out if it made people dumber. Doesn't that beg the question that their results would be pretty dumb too?
