Fox News Viewers are less informed than people who don't watch news at all - Page 2

This is a dumb debate on everybody's stand.
All of the major media outlets only show whats in their favor.
And all of them have been busted with youtube uploads of un-aired but recorded footage.
The big ones are CNN and Fox but it's also local news.
Right now in Iowa Ron Paul is #1 in the polls, but none of that gets coverage and when the local news talks about the caucus Ron Paul is rarely mentioned.

I'm really not sure if MSNBC is "right" about news coverage. Really haven't watched them too much.
But there are channels on youtube that are very open on views and show the interviewees that are not in their view.

I've seen some pretty funny things on Fox News though. And some people believe that since they are the only Republican viewed news source (on TV) that its okay that they bend the truth into the most ridiculous pretzel.

But seriously if your getting any political or government news from television your not getting the whole story.

The implication that the definitely liberal news outlet is for the smart people?

What about less liberal news outlets such as National Public Radio? (Which does have more diversity in political opinion than some people say-yes, I've listened to it myself.)

I think you have to be really insecure to see an implication there. The part about MSNBC in comparison to Fox was simply stating a fact, nothing more and nothing less.

FOX News is garbage. I only watch it when Jesse Ventura is being interviewed; it really shows how inept those journalists are. As the study Barkworm mentioned said, you're better off watching The Daily Show other than anything else (ABC, NBC, CBS, etc.) since it has -- or appears to have -- a different, and therefore refreshing, perspective on national and world issues.
