Mirror On America: Fox Viewers Least Informed According to Pew
Now would you happen to have the results of a survey more recent than this one? Did you even look at the date...2007?

Oh, nevermind, found one for you. Well, look at that...Republicans and Independents are better informed than Dems. 2009.

Republicans Better Informed

How does Fox being the most trusted refute the fact that its viewers are the least informed?

Of course people who watch it are going to trust it. Speaks more of their naivete as viewers than anything else.

According to the most recent polls, FOX NEWS viewers are the most informed.

Deal with it.

You're a product of Fox News, right?
Here's the analysis:
The Right is always right about everything all the time. The Right only does good things.
The Left is always wrong about everything all the time. The Left always does evil things.
Real simple. Just like Fox.
And of course, you're informed and trying to get this Right message out to a nation of idiots.

May I ask a question? It puzzles me how you folks "know" so much about FOX when you don't watch FOX.

Actually it said Republicans. Not FOX viewers.

Kind of like the difference between the one kid in special ed class who seems like he's out of place and knows what he's doing and the other who's drooling all over himself and can't control his bowell movements.

It's the left always whining about FOX. The same goes for whining about Palin, Beck, Savage, Rush, and so forth.

I am a conservative (not a Republican), and watch non-cable FOX for the following: 24, House, Bones, Fringe, and sometimes American Idol.

I personally don't whine about them. Making jokes and proving them to be the simpleton facist types they are isn't whining. It's for my personal amusement. The whining I see is the "Rush is a self made man. Get over it you spoiled momma's boy. I know Rush and you don't". A specific poster who will go nameless comes immediately to mind.
