More educated people tend get their news online. More educated people tend to be more liberal.
Less educated people have trouble utilizing online resources and prefer the soap opera-ish level delivery of news and information. Less factual but more exciting; manufactured controversy, if you like. Less educated people tend to be conservative.
No, more educated people are not more liberal. This depends on where you live more than anything and where you were educated, not the amount of education you have. As for using the computer, the comparison as to internet users and education is way off base. Age has more to do with utilitizing the computer than education. Most 4th graders (who certainly are not educated) can use a computer much better than most 80 year olds wtih PHds.
These are what statistics have shown consistently. Of course it's a generalization, and there are exceptions.
and you believe everything stats show? On this board alone, in the past few days there have been some polls that indicate what can be done with studies, polls, stats, whatever you want to call them...Ask anything in the right way and you will get the answer you want.
Katiana, the conservatives are trying to prove by mentioning FOX the same thing libs are by bringing up Bush over and over or his administration. The interesting part, the libs just play right into the hands of those positng these subjects. Keep it up...

Hmm. That adds up to roughly 21 million viewers. I wonder where the other 200 million people in the US get their news? Really, all together this is a drop in the bucket.
Doesn't show that at all. I have watched Fox News plenty of times and I am liberal. I have probably watched O'Reilly more than anyone else on Fox but I have also wathced Glenn Beck. Most of the time that I watched O'Reilly was because of the topic or guest. I watched Beck just to see how crazy his is. It's kind of like watching Jerry Springer. You don't identify with it but it can be entertaining at times.
a lot of conservatives believe everthing they read in the national enquirer also.

I know people who refuse to watch any of those news stations because they are all biased. They get it from BBC and PBS. Of course there are the people that are just oblivious to current events.
Ratings are not reflective of what people actually think. If that were true, Repulbicans would be ruling us right now. Turns out, they are trying to "find themselves" at this point.
EXACTLY
Also, yes I have watched those Fox shows, because I do try to listen to all sides. i know what side they are on, and i know what side MSNBC is on and I do watch both. I will not watch Glenn Beck or Hannity unless I want to know what the conspiracy theory du jour is. Does that mean I am a "fan" of Fox News. NOPE.
What are some of "the right" trying to prove with these constant threads about FOX?
it would be interesting to see how many liberal compared to how many Conservatives start a thread about fox
