Low info and low education people, like you, are forced to use outdated and offensive nomenclature like "retarded". Do better.

In the original study they asked about the overthrow of Mubarak in Egypt. First, the question was ambiguous, as admitted to by the researchers. Second, there's no way to account for how much time each network spent talking about Egypt. If Fox didn't cover that as much as say, MSNBC, then it would make sense for a Fox only viewer to be in the dark about Egypt.

The whole study sucks.

Holy shite you are dumb.


And also with you.

Second, this "study" actually showed that people who watch only Fox News or MSNBC for news were less informed even than people who didn't watch ANY news or get news from anywhere on a regular basis. Do you know how virtually impossible that is to believe?


Well if you were being told mistruths then it would be worse than someone who doesn't watch any news but is already well educated.

That's not even mentioning that questions can obviously be manipulated to generate answers favorable to what you want your study to say


Yes and it could also be true that Fox News viewers are less informed. Should we go through all of the possibilities to make you set your mind at ease.

quote:

pretty clear that the authors of this study had an outcome in mind before conducting the study.


Show me how you came to this conclusion and that you are also not biased in coming to this conclusion. But even if you are right if I did a study that water was wet and found out that it is in fact wet I wouldn't be surprised either.

LOL. I'm not opening the link bc the OP is a mentally ill retard.

Let me guess, this is the old study from years ago that basically said "if you don't agree with leftist talking points like global warming, you are a moron"?

Business insider is considered to be only "left leaning". Look at those headlines and clearly they are at least solidly left if not in the tank for the DNC altogether.

You can't even trust the left/right measurements.

Trump broke them all.

Liberals are like bullies, they were all tough and rough when everyone ran from them, but the moment a Trump came along and hit them back they broke.

I'm going to ahead and ignore a study that finds that people who only watch the daily show are some of the most informed Americans.

They polled 1185 people. Out of ohhhhh about a sample size of 300,000,000 possible participants.

And they asked questions that nobody even gives a frick about ie:

Who won the New Hampshire primary?
Who was the winner of the Iowa caucus?
To the best of your knowledge, have the opposition groups protesting in Egypt been successful in
removing Hosni Mubarak?

No. Not at all like that. You are so low info and low education that you don't even realize you made a slur. It's ok to be low info and low education. It is not ok to be bigoted.

I always find it hilarious when an idiot that argues that a person can change their gender calls other people uninformed.

That's how I mean it. It is a word with multiple uses. Your "low info and low education" vocabulary usages are not very intelligent or developed. Thusly, they are retarded. They are delayed in their development. Do better.
