2012, back when Fox was “the resistance.”

Who is the resistance now? MSM spends more time on anti administration scandal/conspiracy than actual world events

The left are more uniformed now due to their obsession with trump.

I'm mildly curious about why Business Insider covered this. I have a really good theory about why.

The next suggested article was about half the country believing in creationism. Another really curious topic for "Business" Insider.

But when you consider that Business Insider is a left rag then you don't really have to wonder why these two topics are contained on their website when they have nothing to do with business.

Interestingly, Reps consistently outscored Dems on those questions. Which makes the FNC observations dubious.

Well I do post on a board where people simply think that numbers makes you right.

Ebbandflow is low info and low education. Him calling anyone else ill-informed is beautiful.

I have to agree the Fox News audience is less informed.......... of very fake news.

Holy shite you are dumb.

First, it's VERY unlikely that anyone gets all their news from one source. Regardless of political persuasion. I doubt there were very many people in 2012 who only watched Fox News and didn't get any other news from any other source and I doubt today there are very many people who get their news from MSNBC and nowhere else

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?

That's not even mentioning that questions can obviously be manipulated to generate answers favorable to what you want your study to say and it's pretty clear that the authors of this study had an outcome in mind before conducting the study.
