Think Progress is just reporting the WPO survey, and WPO receives funding from the Tides Foundation which gives the survey...wait for it...ZERO CREDIBILITY!

I thought that was your point, but I just wanted to make sure..

I listen to a local liberal radio show daily for about 20 minutes or so when I'm in the car, and I keep hearing him talk about how Obamacare lowered premiums, and the cost increases this year were unassociated with them.. I want to jump through my radio and just slap the man.. How can people so uneducated get on the air and report such misinformation while at the same time call those who have actually read the reports blaming Obamacare "misinformed"...

And then of course we get libeal "surveys", and if you didnt answer their question the way they wanted, you are misinformed, even though their answers were flat out wrong.. Liberals.. all I can say is

Didn't they just see what happened in the last election. Oh wait, it because Obama didn't communicate effectively. LOLs. Even though we were told he was the greatest orator in world history. LOLs. What a bunch of sorry, pathetic losers the liberals have become.
They have there sorry reasons. We were told that Obama was the greatest, well great at just what! exactly. They are more then a sorry bunch of pathetic losers, they are vengeful losers. Actually they really are becoming more of a joke then anthing.

Is it any wonder a "study" like this comes out? Anything is fair game as "they" try their best to discredit Fox and it's viewers, which doesn't seem to do very much good.

The report also said this;

Quote:
Daily consumers of MSNBC and public broadcasting (NPR and PBS) were higher (34 points and 25 points respectively) in believing that it was proven that the US Chamber of Commerce was spending money raised from foreign sources to support Republican candidates. Daily watchers of network TV news broadcasts were 12 points higher in believing that TARP was signed into law by President Obama, and 11 points higher in believing that most Republicans oppose TARP.
This study pales in comparison to the video(s) we have seen of clueless, uninformed voters.

It sure does. Just look at some of the posts here by the Obama sheep. Most of them don't even know what Obama himself has said recently OR in the past. You try to tell them and they just stomp their feet and call you a liar. Then you post the actual video of him saying it and they say it is a doctored video. They know next to NOTHING about the man and who surrounds him, but they try to argue that they do. Talk about being seriously misinformed.....

Default Fox News makes voters stupid, university study finds

What was suspected is now confirmed.........

"The troublesome record of spin by conservative television station Fox News has long been a cause for concern to many Americans, who frequently allege that the nation's most viewed "news" network has the effect of dumbing down voters.

Turns out, they were right."

I don't watch Fox News, but this story is so contrived and stupid. You can easily substitute FOX News for MSNBC.
