Can you proof that by a study and not random videos? Because all you've got are youtube videos. There are dozens of videos of people that did not vote for Obama and they seem to be just as dumb as some Obama voters. You trust the videos that support your views but you ignore the ones that don't support your views. That is a sign of ignorance.

Yep.. and this video actually proved Fox viewers were MORE informed then everyone else.. Thanks OP for giving people the chance to repost FACTS, and not your left wing propaganda...

You still think the left winger lie is true that was posted, then dispute this video.. Go ahead.. try... It'll be humorous..

The original report, which is so filled with errors and flaws that it actually proves that Fox viewers are more informed than non Fox viewers

Any "report" from globalist propaganda outfit, Meida Matters is suspect and pretty much discounted by any serious political junkie.

I can't believe the OP tried to pass it off as a legitimate source. Just more proof that that the left continues to twist and distort.

To say a legitimiate news source is flawed when the true propaganda machine is providing the "data"( wink wink) says it all.
I don't think even they believe it themselves.

But we can't let the irony behind this escape because as exemplified on this very forum, a lot of FOX News viewers are actually lefties who just can't stop watching. Oh they say they watch to see what the other side is up to but I think we know better. In fact so many CD members are obsessed with all things FOX that what they are saying is, they are part of the supposed uninformed! Go figure!

A legitimate news source is one that does not have a bias. There are rare but I would not call any other legitimate. If the owner himself admits to having a bias, you know they are not fair and balanced.

When talking about FOX viewers, you must always follow your comments with ", duh".

And look at TARP. It may have been passed under Bush, but Obama voted for it, and actively continued the program when he took office. Or the other tidbit, that healthcare decreases the deficit - this only occurs because the sheer volume of tax hikes that took effect before the actual healthcare provisions took place.
I was thinking the very same thing. On top of that, a net positive doesnt' necessarily equate into a reality that people actually feel. Just because there's a net growth doesn't mean that people are actually feeling that growth.

I have some real issues with the way this data was reported by this author. Way too many holes.

Especially considering that the growth is government growth, not private sector growth. And since that growth comes by removing money from the economy, the public sector could very well properly answer that there is no growth while the government indicate that there is..

There's nothing like symmetry, and what's more symmetrical than a circle? Fox is unrepentantly biased. So its hardcore viewers can't possibly be well informed. They continue to watch Fox, which is biased, so that they're continually uninformed. And they watch Fox...
