PPP Poll: Fox News Most Trusted TV News Source for Fifth Straight Year
:bash::dead:
I'm really getting tired of your lefy agenda-driven spin and pure b.s. where FOX is concerned...
The people who LEAST trust FOX are all far lefties...WHY? ...'cause they "can't handle the truth" (- J. Nicholson )

I just watched the clip, first time I'd seen it, lol. Pretty bloody awful, anyway I've always been more into the lyrics than the video clip, Skyhooks are an Aussie band and I was trying to relate their lyrics to not only Fox News but the media in general.
"Horror story it's the 6.30 news".
Anyway a Wogg never apologises so get fucked. :furious:

Although people do not read newspapers, they do watch TV news.....
FOX NEWS and MSNBC are watched by people who really to not want to know what is actually going on.....
Fox News Viewers Know Less Than People Who Don't Watch Any News: Study
First Posted: 11/21/11 05:28 PM ET Updated: 11/21/11 06:06 PM ET
Fox News viewers are less informed than people who don't watch any news, according to a new poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University.
The poll surveyed New Jersey residents about the uprisings in Egypt and the Middle East, and where they get their news sources. The study, which controlled for demographic factors like education and partisanship, found that "people who watch Fox News are 18-points less likely to know that Egyptians overthrew their government" and "6-points less likely to know that Syrians have not yet overthrown their government" compared to those who watch no news.
Overall, 53% of all respondents knew that Egyptians successfully overthrew Hosni Mubarak and 48% knew that Syrians have yet to overthrow their government.
Dan Cassino, a political science professor at Fairleigh Dickinson, explained in a statement, "Because of the controls for partisanship, we know these results are not just driven by Republicans or other groups being more likely to watch Fox News. Rather, the results show us that there is something about watching Fox News that leads people to do worse on these questions than those who don’t watch any news at all."
This isn't the first study that has found that Fox News viewers more misinformed in comparison to others. Last year, a study from the University of Maryland found that Fox News viewers were more likely to believe false information about politics.
**************
So, Fox News viewers are miss informed and more likely to believe false information about politics.
You don't need a poll to know that.......
I know by 4AM what is going on in the world from my IHeart Radio and Tune In radio. BBC is left on center for me, but I listen. And then there is NPR, NPI, or 702 Sydney.
I read the WSJ and my local newspaper (also left of center). By 6AM, I also read 2 papers online. One English one German. Sometimes in the evening I listen to Radio China (English).
I watch evening news (ABC) local and National. I also listen to about 30 minutes of FOX until the blondes get to talking over the top of each other....then I go to Chassing Classic cars and/or read a book, magazine, Mustang repair manual, or a book on my Tablet or e-reader.
And I worry about the citizens who don't even know who their governor or senator is at present. I worry that they don't know the details of the Obama care. I knew about the Egyptians and the Syrians, and the Iranians. I know about the Ukrainians, Russians, and their Islamic terrorist. For 39 years I got paid to protect the citizens and worry who is going to hit us and on what holiday it would fall on. It never stops for me because it never ends.....yes I read the newspaper.

Oh, it's a LOT worse than that.
These Jay Leno "Jaywalking" episodes ought to really scare the bejeebers out of ya:

^And a lot of these people can and do vote.^
There are dozens more of his 'interviews' wherein the answers given are just as bad or worse. I've seen a few werein TEACHERS were interviewed and asked questions on the subjects the supposedly taught...their answers (WHEN they answered) were enough to curl your hair.
(BTW - n-o-b-o-d-y knows all the details of Obamacare. Nobody. The people who are the MOST clueless about it are the very people who drafted, passed and signed it. And they ALL had a "D" after their names. 'Guess we know what that "D" really stands for now, huh.)
(Sigh) I didn't "leave out" a THING, Jim. The link shows the WHOLE ARTICLE 'far as I can tell - including the part you CLAIM I left out! It's right there in plain sight. The "least trusted" statement in the article is what prompted me to opine that those who LEAST trust FOX are all lefties/far lefties (you yourself illustrate that point). The article actually bears that out if you'll just read & analyze who said what.
Sheeeeeeeeze...
You've quoted "Politico" on occasion. Here's what they say:
