Anyone who only watches Fox or only watches MSNBC will get hardcore right or left biased news and will never get the whole story. You can also watch only local news and only get a minor summary.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
Frankly, I'm surprised that Outdoor agrees with the results of the study.
The study found other cases where greater exposure to media meant greater misinformation on a subject. Regular viewers of MSNBC, which tilts to the left in prime time, were 34 percentage points more likely than nonviewers to believe “that it was proven that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was spending money raised from foreign sources to support Republican candidates.” Consumers of public broadcasting were 25 points more likely to believe the same.
But the study found many more instances that involved Fox News.
“Almost daily” viewers of Fox News, the authors said, were 31 points more likely to mistakenly believe that “most economists have estimated the health care law will worsen the deficit”; were 30 points more likely to believe that “most scientists do not agree that climate change is occurring”; and were 14 points more likely to believe that “the stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts.”
They were also 13 points more likely to mistakenly believe “the auto bailout only occurred under Obama”; 12 points more likely to believe that “when TARP came up for a vote most Republicans opposed it”; and 31 points more likely to believe that “it is not clear that Obama was born in the United States.”
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
There is a difference between watching the actual news programs and the commentary programs. If you are watching Sean Hannity, you will get mainly opinion pretty close to party line with one sacrificial mainstream Dem thrown in for comic relief or to increase the drama like Alan Colmes.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
The problem with the Kool-Aid drinkers that watch FauxNews and continue to lose brain-cells is that they don't know the difference between commentary and "news", and since FauxNews doesn't present unbiased news anyway, one could see where they would make that mistake.
The problem, SS109, is that folks don't know the difference between opinion & what appears to be actual news...
Maybe we need disclaimers before each show...
