"Fox News viewers are less informed than people who don't watch any news, according to a new poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University.

The poll surveyed New Jersey residents about the uprisings in Egypt and the Middle East, and where they get their news sources. The study, which controlled for demographic factors like education and partisanship, found that "people who watch Fox News are 18-points less likely to know that Egyptians overthrew their government" and "6-points less likely to know that Syrians have not yet overthrown their government" compared to those who watch no news.

Overall, 53% of all respondents knew that Egyptians successfully overthrew Hosni Mubarak and 48% knew that Syrians have yet to overthrow their government.

Dan Cassino, a political science professor at Fairleigh Dickinson, explained in a statement, "Because of the controls for partisanship, we know these results are not just driven by Republicans or other groups being more likely to watch Fox News. Rather, the results show us that there is something about watching Fox News that leads people to do worse on these questions than those who don’t watch any news at all."

This isn't the first study that has found that Fox News viewers more misinformed in comparison to others. Last year, a study from the University of Maryland found that Fox News viewers were more likely to believe false information about politics"

The survey wasnt limited to conservatives, in case you didnt read it.

http://publicmind.fdu.edu/2011/knowless/

...identify the Occupy Wall Street protesters as predominantly Democratic

...the biggest aid to answering correctly is The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, which leads to a 6-point decrease in identifying the protesters
as Republicans, and a 12-point increase in the likelihood of giving the correct answer. "Jon Stewart has not spent a lot of time on some of these issues," said Cassino. "But the results show that when he does talk about something, his viewers pick up a lot more
information than they would from other news sources."

This must be our annual "everyone who watches fox is stupid" thread. Here is last years for anyone who wants to stroll down memory lane http://www.collarchat.com/m_3502058/mpage_1/tm.htm


Not sure what the point is but I suppose some it might make some feel smarter by comparison.

Actually boi,the thread is to point out how misinformed fownews viewers are.

It`s your shallowness that makes you think we`re talking about the viewers and not fox.

And the studies in the prior thread were shown to be faulty. Im sure this one will be as well.

Why should this post be any different from any other O59 post. Monkeys typing randomly usually make more sense.
