It is amazing that 2,024,000 people watched Fox News on Friday December 10, 2010. 42% of those viewers were ages 35-64 and 23% were 25-54. (TVByTheNumbers.com) All of these viewers are over 18, which makes them eligible to vote. But, sadly, if they are watching Faux News, they are being lied to about what is going on in the world.
The DailyKos.com reports today "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." That's right, Faux News makes you stupid. (DailyKos.com)
So, although Faux News tells us that the stimulus lost jobs or health reform will increase the deficit or Obama initiated the GM/Chrysler bailout and wasn't born in the US, it just ain't so. Faux News is "deliberately misinforming their viewers" because of the Republican Party's vested interest in these topics.
Fair and Balanced? Nope... Dumb and Dumber
