Fox News Viewers Almost as informed as Everyone Else

Just as surely as they will deny the earth is over 10,000 years old, they will also deny this.

Hmmm thats good... the FAUX News effect....point of fact points to those who are so grossly misinformed on climate change who listen to FAUX News and Lush Rimjob.

Are you one of those Liberals who answered that the Egyptians successfully overthrew their government in the Fairleigh Dickinson University survey referenced in the URL you posted? Because anyone who has been paying attention to Egypt this week would know that a new round of protests has occurred resulting in at least 41 deaths. Hosni Mubarak may have stepped down but Egypt's military still rules that nation like they have for years and it remains to be seen if their promised elections can be carried out without further violence and further deaths.

Seems to me you are not as informed as you think you are. What a fucking joke.
Liberal arrogance strikes again.


Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

I quit reading when I got to this sentence:

"The survey was conducted among 612 New Jersey natives."
Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

to be fair, in another study, Oreilly watcher's were in the top tier w/ NPR. And, given the fact that the church of climatology is losing more and more credibility, the irony of, "According to the study, nearly 60 percent of Fox News broadcasts were dismissive of climate change, whereas less than 20 percent were accepting of climate change. In comparison, 70 percent of CNN and MSNBC broadcasts were accepting of climate change." might prove to be just too much :)
You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

Now ask yourself, who would commission such a survey and why would they do it?



People who love their country and never tire of pointing out the absurdity that is Fox news.

There are some on MSNBC who I can't stomach. One has to be honest with oneself when forming their political view.

The enemy of my enemy is not always the best newscaster.

So you think it was commissioned by someone who had a partisan view going in and somehow you think the results would not be partisan? I would say the results were exactly what was paid for. I'm sure that FDU will get more business in the future from partisan groups.

And you would think this is strange? What was strange was the climate study paid for by conservatives a few weeks back, that told them what they did not spend their money to hear. I don't need a study on Fox, conversation with many of my conservative friends is proof enough.

So you agree this is a partisan survey and thus, really has no validity? If so, I would have to agree with you.

It doesn't take a commissioned study to establish that the core base of FoxNews's most loyal following is dominated by ignorant, mean-spirited knuckle-draggers.

That's so easy a conclusion to draw, even a caveman could do it!



Even easier for cavemen to denigrate those they don't agree with as ignorant, mean-spirited knuckle-draggers, as well.

so you're saying the the people of Egypt did NOT overthrow their government?



Oh my another arrogant Liberal. Surprise surprise.

Yes ... replacing one military dictator with many military dictators is NOT overthrowing their government. Have you even paid attention to what is going on this week in Egypt?

PS: I do not even get Fox News on my TV at home. :P

Unlike our "informed" liberal friends, the Egyptian People can see thru the fact that the new boss is pretty much the same as the old boss.

Yes the Egyptian people are not happy their current government ruled by the military has picked a PM for them from someone who served under Hosni Mubarak.

Any nastiness in this thread could not have been avoided if it was approached another way. If it said "If you only relied on Fox News, then you might not be getting the complete picture". Anyone who relies on only one news source is setting themselves up to be manipulated. This is true if this one news source is Fox News or any other news source. Heck if I need to know how all the rich and famous celebrities view world/domestic events everyone and their dog knows CNN (The Celebrity News Network) is just dying to give you 24/7 coverage about their beloved opinionated pals.

Sure.. just search this forum for all the pergorative uses of the word LIBERAL by the members of the Legion of Conservatards.

name-calling so soon? I am disappointed. But my expectations are/were about that when i present the right with the facts.....



The media has already admitted a left bias...so your 'facts' are just as slanted as you believe Fox's coverage to be.

My comment was not directed at Fox's ability to broadcast the news. My comment was directed at misinformation posted by the other poster....with a sarcastic overtone based on the post title.
