Jon Stewart (Comedy Central) Viewers Better Informed than FOX News Viewers

[John Manning]

BusinessInsider - Researchers asked 1,185 random nationwide
respondents what news sources they had consumed in the past
week and then asked them questions about events in the U.S.
and abroad.

National News

On average, people correctly answered 1.6 of 5 questions
about domestic affairs.

Because the aim of the study was to isolate the effects
of each type of news source, they then controlled for variables
such as other news sources, partisanship, education and other
demographic factors.

They found that someone who watched only Fox News would be
expected to answer 1.04 domestic questions correctly compared
to 1.22 for those who watched no news at all.

Those watching only "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"
answered 1.42 questions correctly and people who only listened
to NPR or only watched Sunday morning political talk shows
answered 1.51 questions correctly.

International News

With all else being equal, people who watched no news were
expected to answer 1.28 correctly; those watching only Sunday
morning shows figured at 1.52.

Those watching only "The Daily Show" figured at 1.60; and
those just listening to NPR were expected to correctly answer
1.97 international questions.

Viewers of only Fox News figured at only 1.08.

Thus, those who watched no news�answering questions by guessing
or relying on existing knowledge�fared much better than those who
watched the most popular 24-hour cable news network (i.e. Fox News).

As a college graduate, it worries me that a sizable percentage of voters
watch a "news" program that leaves them less informed than someone who
watches no news programs at all.

Fox News is a perfect example of the "Dunning-Kruger Effect" (look it up
if you need to): people who watch it not only think they are well
informed, they are more certain of it than those who watch PBS.

You are so thoroughly owned. What's even funnier is your owner doesn't even know

Fox, being an honest news media, doesn't fabricate it's news to appease free
loaders.

Fox News, the influential rightwing US television network, yesterday it
had "reprimanded" its chief political correspondent after its website
carried fabricated quotes attributed to John Kerry, in which he called
himself a "metrosexual" who enjoys getting manicures. The network, owned
by Rupert Murdoch, apologised for the article in which the Democratic
challenger was quoted telling a rally in Florida: "Didn't my nails and
cuticles look great? What a good debate!" Comparing himself to the
president, Mr Kerry was supposed to have said: "I'm metrosexual - he's a
cowboy." Women voters, he purportedly added, "should like me! I do
manicures."
