People who watch Fox News know less than people who watch no news at all: Study

Fox News viewers are less informed than people who don't watch any news, according to a new poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University.

The poll surveyed New Jersey residents about the uprisings in Egypt and the Middle East, and where they get their news sources. The study, which controlled for demographic factors like education and partisanship, found that "people who watch Fox News are 18-points less likely to know that Egyptians overthrew their government" and "6-points less likely to know that Syrians have not yet overthrown their government" compared to those who watch no news.

Overall, 53% of all respondents knew that Egyptians successfully overthrew Hosni Mubarak and 48% knew that Syrians have yet to overthrow their government.

That's true... The never-ending supply of blonde-bimbo material is truly awesome... With the sound turned off, they're almost bearable.

"There may be a direct relationship between the rise in ratings at Fox News and the rise of the Fox women skirts. If true, it’s an interesting programming strategy."

It's amazing LJ....you have nothing positive to say. If so, I must have missed it.

I'd be nice to see you post what you are for more often than just poking people. Currently, you add nothing to the debate, and in fact, seriously degrade the debate into your little sound bites.

Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!

But maybe Fox viewers know more than the people judging them? Hosni Mubarak, military officer, ruled because the military let him. Who is running Egypt today? The military, which has been fighting the protestors down at the same square we saw this spring.

Imagine the suprise in my voice to find out Lady Jazzer thinks the Egyptian military goverment has been overthrown. Seen any democratic elections recently in Cairo? I don't think so.
