Another study has concluded that people who only watch Fox News are less informed than all other news consumers.Researchers at Fairleigh Dickinson University updated a study they had conducted in late 2011. That study only sampled respondents from New Jersey, where the university is located. This time, the researchers conducted a nationwide poll. The poll asked questions about international news (Iran, Egypt, Syria and Greece were included) and domestic affairs (Republican primaries, Congress, unemployment and the Keystone XL pipeline.) The pollsters found that people were usually able to answer 1.8 out of 4 questions on foreign news, and 1.6 of 5 questions on domestic news, and that people who don't watch any news were able to get 1.22 of the questions on domestic policy right. As the study explained, though, people who watched only Fox News fared worse:The largest effect is that of Fox News: all else being equal, someone who watched only Fox News would be expected to answer just 1.04 domestic questions correctly -- a figure which is significantly worse than if they had reported watching no media at all. On the other hand, if they listened only to NPR, they would be expected to answer 1.51 questions correctly; viewers of Sunday morning talk shows fare similarly well. And people watching only "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" could answer about 1.42 questions correctly. "Some News Leaves People Knowing Less" http://publicmind.fdu.edu/2011/knowless/ |

This is from Fairleigh Dickinson University, studying an issue that they considered important. They didn't know what the results would be, they just put together a group of questions and compiled the data. This data by the way reinforces a study by another group that had similar results. If you don't like the message... Cicero attacks the messenger... not the message. |

A lesson learned from the liberal wacko's!!!!! Although it is very hard to distinquish between the messanger and the message since boxy cuts and pastes EVERYTHING!!! Not even one independent working brain cell....awwwwww!!! |

Another University Study: Fox Viewers More MisinformedFrom December 2010, another study from the University of Maryland with the same results:
Quoted Text
It was not a matter of partisan self-selection. Democrats who watched Fox, as well as Republicans, came away misled and misinformed.

Message is from obscure study from 2011...So I repeat...Box goes to scanning websites for most recent articles attacking Fox News. It was a one year old article. The study should research how misinformed forum trolls are that post old news articles citing ideologically motivated studies. |
