Study Confirms That Fox News Makes You Stupid

[canandy]

Yet another study has been released proving that watching Fox News is detrimental to your intelligence. World Public Opinion, a project managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, conducted a survey of American voters that shows that Fox News viewers are significantly more misinformed than consumers of news from other sources. What’s more, the study shows that greater exposure to Fox News increases misinformation.

Yeah, they're "misinformed"  because they question Obuma's place of birth.

Fox news watchers are ill-informed viewers in my book. I know that I throw up a little every time I see Glen Beck's face

It's old for sure because the citizens of Ontario paid for the rebranding of this "wonderful" government service.



How can you not see the lunacy in that?

I heavily criticized that exact study in a thread yesterday:

If you still look for the MSM for real news, you're stupid. That's my study and the cost was a whopping, common sense.

While I don't endorse any MSM network, you can't deny all the damage FOX has done, especially to their Republican/Christian viewers, during Bush/Cheney. They successfully convinced these viewers that not only Iraq had WMDs, but Saddam was also behind the 9/11 attacks AND they were an imminent threat to nuke this country. As bad as the other networks like CNN and CBS were in spreading pro-Iraq war propaganda, their viewers weren't as brainwashed as FOX(ie, they would merely believe in one of the propaganda points above, NOT ALL 3). Also, FOX also managed to tie Timothy McVey and Iraq to the OKC bombing, which fueled the brainwashing even more.

Also - the entire MSM knows how to confuse their audiences playing both sides - for example, it was in 2004 or 2005 when CNN, for the first time, showed the video camera of the Pentagon getting hit, which pretty much proved that some airplane did NOT hit it. But guess what happened subsequently - "liberal media critic" Brent Bozell/FOX/Rush Limbaugh started calling out CNN for having a "liberal bias". Hence ultimately, the entire MSM/elite establishment was able to control, and ultimately mitigate the truth as they played both sides of the fence.

Anyhow - if anything, FOX really did their best to deceive Christian viewers, in particular, that bible prophecy was being fulfilled as these ME nations were becoming a threat to implement their global domination agendas. While the other mainstream networks weren't as bad as FOX, they nonetheless played their part in fueling the propaganda fire, while at the same time allowed themselves to be tagged as having a "liberal bias" so that the truth can be mitigated.
