Related: About this forumIt's Official-Fox News Viewers Are Really That Dumb
In a 2011 PublicMind poll conducted by New Jersey's Farleigh Dickinson University, it was found that not only do Fox News viewers score lower on current events than viewers of other new channels when tested. This group actually knows "less correct information about current events than people who watch no television news at all," according to the report. Further, Dan Cassino, Professor of political science at Farleigh Dickinson University, revealed what we already know, that most Fox viewers are conservatives, which makes me come to the conclusion that Republicans are ill-informed. That would partially account for their stupid moves in Congress. Examples of this are Fox viewers erroneous fixations on Benghazi and President Obamas birth certificate. Now I know that this study is dated but I'll bet that most thinking individuals will agree that Fox News has only gotten worse in its bogus reporting in the last four years.

I have fox news watching neighbors and they are not very informed. I was recently told that Target did not support the troops and that this person would not shop there due to that. I never heard of this and it was probably something some idjit said on that channel. I just tune all of it out and consider the source.

they most definitely are not "infromed" on anything but a steady diet of lies, innuendo and smear tactics directed at anyone that does not agree with their warped world view.
