Something I suspected all along has been confirmed by a recent study, that Fox News viewers actually know LESS than the average news viewer...a long study, but worth the read.

Full Version: Confirmed! Faux News viewers know less...
All I needed to read was:
QUOTE
The conclusion: Sunday morning news shows do the most to help people learn about current events, while some outlets, especially Fox News, lead people to be even less informed than
those who say they don’t watch any news at all.
As the Jewish scholar Hillel replied when challenged to explain the gospel while standing on one foot "...the rest is the explanation...".
those who say they don’t watch any news at all.
And in a SHOCKING turn of events, liberal academia "finds" that Fox News viewers know less.
<sigh> Liberals will always obsessively denigrate Fox News and its audience because they don't control it part and parcel as they do with CNN, NBC/MSNBC, NY Times, etc. And of course, in the process, liberals manage to congratulate themselves (self-congratulations is akin to eating and breathing with liberals) on how much more educated and enlightened they are. Yet despite the monumental collective efforts of the American Left, Fox News ratings continue to climb while CNN struggles, Katie Couric gets sh*tcanned, and NBC/MSNBC slide further off the map. Rush's audience grows, along with most other talk radio hosts. Regnery sells more and more books. And the conservative blogosphere keeps humming along. <tee hee> It's gotta drive you leftists nuts, huh?

It's too bad you'd support a propaganda machine (FOX) that spews untruths. I would want to win the war of ideas with truth not lies.
Sea, it's useless to engage him with facts. He watches Fox. See link above.
