FUCK YOU Fox News!!
Study: Fox News Viewers Most Misinformed
This is one ranking Fox News doesn't want to top. Viewers of the top-rated cable news channel are the most ill-informed news consumers out there, according to the University of Maryland. The study, called "Misinformation and the 2010 Election," found that despite political party, the majority of Fox News viewers erroneously believed statements such as, "Most economists have estimated the health-care law will worsen the deficit," and "Most scientists do not agree that climate change is occurring." Other misinformed viewers watch MSNBC, PBS and NPR. The study shows that those viewers believed "that it was proved that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was spending money raised from foreign sources to support Republican candidates."

--Most economists estimate the stimulus caused job losses (12 points more likely)
--Most economists have estimated the health care law will worsen the deficit (31 points)
--The economy is getting worse (26 points)
--Most scientists do not agree that climate change is occurring (30 points)
--The stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts (14 points)
--Their own income taxes have gone up (14 points)
--The auto bailout only occurred under Obama (13 points)
--When TARP came up for a vote most Republicans opposed it (12 points)
--And that it is not clear that Obama was born in the United States (31 points)

2. The people who really need to
think about this are the ones who will just write it off as some attempt by the liberal media to attack Fox. I remember years ago trying to convince a Fox viewer that there was a difference between fact and opinion. Never was able to do it.

5. Yes,
It's the same way with those who listen to Rush and Beck, they just won't accept the fact these "sources" are full of it and can't be believed. Sadly those who buy into all the BS from Rush, Beck and Fox never bother to check out the "FACTS", and that's why they get away with lying all the time!

3. New theory: Obama and FCC approve of Fox, in fact support them, as they do zero to reign in abuses.
Because only an ignorant person would allow them to get away with all the crap that they do.
