STUDY: Watching Fox News Makes You Less Informed Than Watching No News At All - Business Insider
Wrestlers get elected to public office and there is one notable wrestler in congress now. Things don't need to be more complicated than they are.

Using a leftwing rag to support a leftwing agenda is not proof of anything but the foolishness of trying to do so. Like wrestling it has entertainment value.

Fox News; 40%

MSNBC: 9%
ABC: <5%
CBS: <5%
NBC: <5%

Oh? What evidence do you have that advertisers care more about the veracity of the news than the number of households it reaches?

Wow, this is just oozing with irony.

Of course I agree, Fox News was birthed out of the fake news environment (sort of like the National Enquirer on cable), most people with half a brain should know that and it appears that they do (but Trump does not).

What is your evidence that people watch news from a source that they know is lying to them with every story they tell ? If that was the case CNN would be number one.

That made me smile. Sometimes Republicans are just so endearing, like dogs trying to figure out a doorknob.

Look at the 3rd graders drool over a poll about opinion. Everyone that took part was just voicing an opinion not fact. Many Americans don't even know what facts are and just regurgitate what they hear on the news. You see it all over this forum. No real thought, just puked up talking points over and over again.

And you think opinion is fact. That's even more ridiculous and hilarious but there you are.
