I agree, there are many perfect examples around of how warped and brainwashed the mind gets with too much fox news/other extreme right sources.

This has been proven false, over, and over, and over again. If you watched Fox, you'd know that so I guess the theory has been proven wrong. Who actually knows less again?

Lightbulb Some news (Fox News) Leaves People Knowing Less

FOX is a business. A business owned by earth's tabloid king Rupert Murdoch. Their business is NOT informing. Their business is ratings.

And they have a winning formula: give the angry, frightened right wingers more scary, disturbing spin, and they won't watch anything else.

I see duplicate threads like this are left alone and the poster isn't freaked out on about using the search feature. Also, some of the same posters who posted in this thread didn't yall DUPLICATE THREAD, like they do in threads that expose the Left.

Some News Leaves People Knowing Less

I can pretty much guess what the response will be in this thread, but I'm going to wait for the outcome to see if I am right.
Sorry I have a brain and I will make my determination of where the truth lies....Fox... or the main stream leftist/D-cat media.

Priceless was reading your post that was way off the mark since I genuinely did not know there was a thread about the study last week. Since I'm unjustifiably labeled as being a leftie, I'm going to guess you're a right wingnut.
