Hoorah!! for FOX NEWS and Neil Cavuto!!!

Meanwhile Navy Pride looks for pearls of wisdom while reading tea leaves in watered cow manure.
 
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?
 
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.

Every news network is jealous of Fox news because of their success......That is a fact but that is not what this thread is about. When Liberals get caught with their hands in the cookie jar they try and deflect the subject.......Won't work here........The man is right on.

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 but why would I expect a liberal to take the time to be proven wrong

Does he believe the myths to be truths? If so he's an idiot.

Can you tell us what is false that he said my left wing friend?

what myth? like the myth the left has about the tea party being inbred ignorant rednecks?

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.

of coarse he didn't it didn't come from Huff and Puff post mother jones buzz feed msnbc or other liberal approved propaganda sites
 
I don't have sound on my office computer, nor 20 minutes to waste watching the video right now. Would someone mind giving me a brief summary of this lawyer for a libertarian think-tank's findings, or perhaps a link to a text version?

The problem is anyone or organization that disagrees with your left wing stand on the issues is bias in your mind....

That in absolutely no way addresses my statement at all.

Are you somehow claiming that I don't think, say, MSNBC is biased?

BTW, bias is a noun. Biased is an adjective.

You obviously didn't watch the video... That study was bogus.

I find it quite entertaining watching you believe a study that was bogus, and believe what they claimed to be true, when it has been proven not to be. To find the uninformed, you search should begin at the first mirror you encounter.

LMMFAO

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.

Highly unlikely.

I'm going to chalk this up to you (poorly) attempting to bait me into an infraction.

I'm oh so happy for you.
