There's an explanation of their methodology in the study. Go to the section "A Note on the Question of What is “True"."
All that does is back up my assertion that the entire thing is arbitrary questions asked in a horrible ways in order to get the replies that they wanted. This has nothing to do with who is smarter than someone else. This is about creating a poll or quiz to be used against people of a certain political persuasion which is exactly what the OP and every other person who has reposted this quiz over and over again is doing.
I think the poor performance of Fox Viewers has to do due to fact that their audience tends to be older and might be suffering from memory problems or have just become "out of the loop." I'm surprised that commercials for Metamucil and male impotence aren't being spammed during every commercial break.

What we need are more MSNBC viewers who can't spell or speak English very well.
100% for me. I used to watch tv news, now not so much.
Also, I just chose my answers based on how I thought Obama supporters would answer.
Worked like a charm!
Biased quiz? Nah...........

That is what you got from reading the methodology?

Wrong. The Christian Science Monitor piece is about getting readers. The point of the study, which was not simply those 11 questions, was assessing the perception of misinformation and pointing to possible correlations. That's it. If you read through the study, you'd see that misinformation among lots of different news outlets is pretty pervasive.

I didn't even read the CWM piece, I remember if from a couple years ago when it came out. I read the study and the articles that quickly debunked it, I also remembered those from 2010 when this first hit every left wing website around. It's been posted here quite a few times, liberals love to remind people that truly believe that they're intellectually superior to anyone they disagree with.

You must have missed the part in the study about NPR and MSNBC listeners/viewers.
The test is dumb. Impression ?. Is there climate change?.. there has been climate change for thousands of years.. it is called the four seasons now.
This, right here, is the seeming lack of intelligent thought that this thread and the survey address.
When people refer to climate change, they obviously do not mean the changing of the seasons. Perhaps you were trying to be facetious or witty, but if you were, you didn't do yourself any favors...
Never mind that people who are shown to be the subjects of negative surveys/studies ALWAYS argue that the surveys/studies are OBVIOUSLY flawed.
