Not only that, but there is no context. My guess is the questions were very leading so that the research would confirm already desired findings. I don't feel like putting any of my time towards it but if anyone cares about this...at all, here is the link that can help.

Ya, I just looked at that. 8 questions seems like sufficient sample size to draw conclusions from, lol.
It doesn't surprise me that the very partisan outlets like Fox News and MSNBC (and to a lesser extent, CNN) fall on the lower end of the spectrum though. It's probably directionally correct in that regard. Although they could have come up with some decent questions if they wanted precise results.
I never watch any news channels, ever. I have never understood the appeal of television news at all.
Thanks that effectively supports the earlier findings. But why do you suspect farleigh dickinson has an agenda to make cable news look bad?
Now more than ever unless theres been a drastic change in their programming. What do you think given the current state of affairs regarding the cable news networks? You think theres been a shift towards being more informative across a broader range of topics? Lol. One thing is obvious. You’re better off watching nothing than watching fox news in terms of being informed. Evidently you’re better off getting news from your friends and hearsay rather than the “fair and balanced” network. Pretty damning. Cnn and msnbc are only a hair better but obviously they just spoon feed your ideology and tell their viewers what they want to hear. Noone is getting informed just indoctrinated.

Thanks for the data but anyone who has spent much time here over the past several years is well aware that the FOXNews followers are modern-day Neanderthals.
When I need good unbiased news I tune into the OOTB board.
I just go to Drudge. They have articles from both the left and the right on there. I figure the truth is generally somewhere in the middle.
