11/22   Fox News viewers less informed than non-news viewers:
        http://goo.gl/4uzio
        \_ More details: Fox News viewers are less informed even after
           controlling for education, party affiliation, gender, and use
           of other news media!  Also, "non-news viewers" means people who
           consumed no news media at all in the past week -- no newspapers,
           no news websites, no political blogs, not even The Daily Show.

5/26    Is it correct to call someone the daughter of Puerto Rican
        "immigrants"? Seems wrong to me. Puerto Ricans get US Passports.
        \_ Yes it is correct.
           \_ Thanks! Obama immigrated from Hawaii, right?
              \_ Not the same.  Doubly not the same in the early 50s.  Go watch
                 yourself some West Side Story.

        interview:

         that the lobbyists play in an issue like this also. And in that

story&l ayout=button_count&show_faces=true&width=135&action=recommend&font& colorscheme=light&height=21 Fox News Sean Hannity talks to the audience during the taping of his Fox News show recently. They then asked a series of factual questions about the major events of the last year, from the "Arab Spring" to the Republican race for president. For example, respondents were first asked whether, to the best of their knowledge, opposition groups in Egypt had been successful in bringing down the Mubarak regime. Fox viewers were 18 percentage points less likely to answer correctly than those who watched no news at all. "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," said Dan Cassino, a political science professor at Fairleigh Dickinson. Those who watched Sunday public affairs shows tended to be the best informed on current events, the survey found. Readers of national newspapers also were more likely to respond correctly. "Jon Stewart has not spent a lot of time on some of these issues. But the results show that when he does talk about something, his viewers pick up a lot more information than they would from other sources," Cassino said. Because of the smaller sample size among those who selected a specific news source, the margin of error would be much higher. Discussion FAQ lulzguy at 9:35 PM November 22, 2011 Seriously? They polled a few New Jersey residents and then tried to extrapolate that to everyone else. I hate this kind of biased modern liberal propaganda by the modern liberal media. Jason Writer at 8:20 PM November 22, 2011 FoxNew's purpose is disinformation and they have clearly succeeded in their goal, so I don't see the problem.
