Yea... Except they kinda are the problem..
"Those who watched Fox News almost daily were significantly more likely than those who never watched it to believe that most economists estimate the stimulus caused job losses (12 points more likely), most economists have estimated the health care law will worsen the deficit (31 points), the economy is getting worse (26 points), most scientists do not agree that climate change is occurring (30 points), the stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts (14 points), their own income taxes have gone up (14 points), the auto bailout only occurred under Obama (13 points), when TARP came up for a vote most Republicans opposed it (12 points) and that it is not clear that Obama was born in the United States (31 points)." Study finds Fox News viewers most misinformed on issues
Remember that study from the University of Maryland and WorldPublicOpinion.org saying Fox News viewers are the most “misinformed” audience? It seems that was misinformation.
Competitive Enterprise Institute Communications Director, and licensed lawyer, Lee Doren has just released a short video expose showing that the study is severely flawed.
“After looking at the supposed ‘myths’ that Fox News watchers believe, I quickly realized that something was wrong with the study,” Doren writes in the video’s YouTube introduction. “As a result, I read the study very carefully and realized that the whole study was bogus.”
He says the study does “not have data to support its conclusions,” and goes as far as to say it “may simply demonstrate that Fox News viewers are more informed than the researchers.”

So we have a comment by someone who actually believes the myths and falsehoods Fox spews. Is it any surprise that an idiot like that thinks he is informed?
Competitive Enterprise Institute Communications Director, and licensed lawyer, Lee Doren clearly debunks the University of Maryland study if you would even bother to watch the vid

Does he believe the myths to be truths? If so he's an idiot.
those who identified as part of the tea party movement were actually better versed in science than those who didn’t, Kahan found. The findings met the conventional threshold of statistical significance, the professor said.

I suspect he watched neither video.
When it comes to studies like this, you can pretty much get whatever result you want depending on how you word the questions.
As far as Cavuto's comment, no Fox news is not "the" problem. However, infotainment masquerading as news (on both sides of the debate) is "A" problem. A big one. And Fox News is guilty of that in spades.
The problem is anyone or organization that disagrees with your left wing stand on the issues is bias in your mind....

"Those who watched Fox News [/url]
I don't have sound on my office computer, nor 20 minutes to waste watching the video right now.
You are a perfect example of why America isn't as productive as it use to be.
How many more libs are being paid by their employers to be unproductive and surfing the web instead ?
You have absolutely no idea what my job, responsibilities or workflow are. Howsabout you worry about APACHERAT, and I'll worry about Kobie.
They're going to outsource your job to some third world country.
Then you will join the ranks of those who are dependent on government.
Now for myself, I own my own business and hire competent people, usually vets and I use the Rule of Three so I can waste my time on the DP not being productive.
The biggest decision I have facing me right now is telling most of those who part of the team that their hours are going to be reduced to 30 hours per week.
