Why are Fox viewers so ill-informed? Well...

[demmiblue]

I would like to inform @FoxNews and @foxandfriends that James Madison was NOT the third president of the United States and also did NOT sign the Declaration of Independence.

1. Wikipedia is your friend.

[Ferrets are Cool]

5. Only if you can spell "Wiki".

[inthewind21]

19. NO

It's really not.

[underpants]

2. LOL.

[sop]

3. Why let pesky things like facts get in the way of a good rightwing narrative?

[Botany]

4. 3rd President? signed the Deceleration of Independence?

So did James Madison live at Mount a Jello and helped to found the University of Vermont?

6. Isn't he the one who captured the airports during the revolutionary war?

10. When all your interns are being hired by Matt Gaetz

and they just graduated from H.S. with an IQ room temperature, one may expect mistakes.

[FSogol]

11. Cool story, Bro!

[AntivaxHunters]

13. Was it a mistake defending white supremacy too?

Go read that background graphic.

[Butterflylady]

16. Still, no excuse. They are seen by millions

And supposedly college educated. When my grandson was 7 yrs. old he could name all the president's in order. No excuse for them to not know.

18. Interns are supposed to be shadowed to avoid situations just like this

So, that is no excuse.

Copy and content is looked at by multiple people where I work. Just one person is never responsible for a finished item - ESPECIALLY AN INTERN.

So, to your point - that means the entire group is incompetent. Thanks for helping to show that.

[Justice matters.]

22. They probably see a meme or two on Instagram...

[reACTIONary]

25. Welcome to DU. nt

[Torchlight]

32. Sounds serious

Good luck.

[Doc_Technical]

12. Under the picture of Madison,

it says that he was the third President of the United States,
but in the column under "Accomplishments" it says
that he was the fourth President?!?!

[NJCher]

15. --

fifth sec of state to the 4th pres

makes sense , right?

[czarjak]

14. Gutfeld is STILL hyping his economy that he inherited from the Democrat. Literally...

No fool like a Fox Fool!

17. baka baka baka バカ バカ バカ!!

27. I remember hearing this song ages ago

Back then, I thought the song came from NGE.

[YoshidaYui]

29. came from the anime Ranma 1/2 **

[sakabatou]

30. I know.

I was 12 or 13 when I thought it came from NGE.

20. Thankfully, less then 3% of the adult population watches Fox

Watching Fox doesn't explain why just under 1/3 of adults voted for TFG

[IronLionZion]

21. They swapped James Madison for Thomas Jefferson

because these are the people complaining that you can't erase history. Maybe they should read a book instead of banning them. Learn history from school instead of statues.

[Irish_Dem]

36. Yes Jefferson was the third president and did sign the Declaration of Independence.

Thomas Jefferson is probably the most remarkable founding father.

An incredible intellect, highly educated, he was a quiet man, but his writings were powerful.

His thoughts about self governance and the rights of people resulted in one of the most important human
documents of all time. The Declaration of Independence.

I myself happen to belief it is not just a political document, but a spiritual one.

It is pure magic.

23. Fox has been misinforming its viewers for years

You could also call it lying.

Been reading Seth Andrews book "Confessions of a Former Fox News Christian" and it goes into great detail about Fox and the GOP lying thru the years. Lots of crap I had forgotten, but I'm sure the Fox addicts remember it all. It's really disgusting what our "free speech" allows in this country. Seth is now an outspoken atheist.

I highly recommend it.

[sakabatou]

28. I love Seth Andrews

I listen to his podcast, and have his two other books.

[Kaleva]

33. One has to be misinformed to watch Fox in the first place

[Cozmo]

26. You answered your own question. Fox viewers are ill informed because they are fox viewers

[LeftinOH]

31. Also- drafting a "guarantee of religious freedom" does not excuse slave owning.

It merely proves how religion can be used to justify *absolutely anything*.

[Torchlight]

34. Fox seems intent on illustrating an adage

often attributed to Franklin: 'Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.'

[Kid Berwyn]

35. Like the times they misidentify GOP child molesters.

Truth be told, Fox News does that a lot.

[Initech]

37. Fox News is rotting people's brains.

[GreenWave]

38. They love to have shitstorms of stupidity swirl when Biden is going good.
