MSNBC and CNN viewers are better informed than Fox News viewers and that is what this thread and article is about, bothside-ism doesn't apply here.

Based on what? An article by a "Quora contributor"? A study by Fairleigh Dickinson University? What was the sample size? What were the controls? Do you know?

They hand leftists a "study" that "confirms" their bias and they take it as fact without any critical thought. So yeah, bothside-ism applies here.

These studies are meaningless because they assume the leftist media are reliable sources. It's like using these so called "fact checker" sites that pretend to be unbiased when obviously they are towards the left. They've been caught numerous times bending the truth by claiming something is false said by Republicans but the same things is true when a Democrat says it.

They asked Fox News viewers simple questions like find South Carolina on a map.
 
This whole story is bullshit. It quotes a Quora piece that supposedly quotes a 2012 survey from some university. No links, of course.

Last Week Tonight didn’t premiere until 2014.

Asking an American to find the American state of South Carolina on a map is propaganda? Asking an American who controls congress is propaganda? It's just civics 101, at least it should be civics 101.
 
When your most popular host, shares the same lawyer as the President and also on the campaign trail with the President and you don't do shit about it, you lose the right to call yourself a news channel.

Hahahahaha sure .....
 
@58miles likes to watch fox news and then attribute their hot takes to anyone who disagrees with him, as if they were the ones sitting around watching fox news :rolleyes:
 
The Greg Gutfeld show is pretty funny. I watch him make fun of libtards, alt-left and political correctness gone wild.
 
i always laugh when i hear about the "cult-like devotion to trump," as if it is even a fraction of the "cult-like devotion" to obama. i, like many on the right tolerate trump, don't really hate him, but kind of wish someone else had been in his place and/or he would be a little more "professional." i really dont know very many people at all that are obsessed with him (not that there are not, i just dont know them). sure, most on the right support him, but certainly not obsessed.

now compare that to obama. the ENTIRE party kisses that man's ass. i am sure they exist, but basically NOBODY will consider him anything less than godlike. the level of worship given to him is trump times 10.

in before, thats because obama was perfect and trump sucks

news outlets often do this to when Representatives of either party fuck up. they label them "Rep." for "representative," but obviously the mistake of them being a "republican" is often made
 
The real Fox News effect, has been outlets like CNN and MSNBC seeing their ratings, and adjusting their programming accordingly.

Now everything is "FOX News".

"They tell me what I want to hear, so that means it's the truth!"

The REAL Fox News effect.

Obama wasn't perfect but he wasn't a thin skinned, immature, whiny, insecure, serial lying, 6 times bankrupt buffoon either. Also unlike our current POTUS he was well informed, well spoken and didn't spend his days tweeting like a 13 yr old child and unlike Trump Obama usually started work before 11:30am.

That doesn't answer the question out of 30 major news outlets why were Fox News viewers the least informed?
