The PublicMind poll by Farleigh Dickinson University
in New Jersey showed that of all the news channels out there,
Fox News viewers are the least informed.
People were asked questions about news habits and current events in a statewide poll of 600 New Jersey residents. Results showed that viewers of Sunday morning news shows were the most informed about current events, while Fox News viewers were the least informed. In fact, FDU poll results showed they were even less informed than those who say they don’t watch any news at all, and they were also less likely than any other group analyzed to have forms of higher education. Readers of The New York Times, USA Today and listeners to National Public Radio were better informed about international events than other media outlets.
In one major example, New Jersey poll participants were questioned about the outcome of the so-called Arab Spring uprisings in North Africa earlier in the year.
Non-Fox News viewer statistics showed
53% know that Egyptians were successful in overthrowing dictator Mubarak.
48% know that the Syrian uprising has thus far been unsuccessful in ousting Assad.
But Fox News viewers showed
37% know that Egyptians overthrew their government
42% know that Syrians have not yet overthrown their government
thus suggesting a daily dose of sound bytes from CNN or MSNBC at the gym, and headlines from Google News were enough to surpass what average Fox viewers knew about current events.
Because of the controls for partisanship, we know these results are not just driven by Republicans or other “low information” people being more likely to watch Fox News, said Dan Cassino, a professor of political science at Fairleigh Dickinson and an analyst for the PublicMind Poll.
“The results clearly prove that there is something about watching Fox News that fundamentally leads people to be mis-informed – even compared to those who don’t watch any news at all.”
This isn't the first study that has found that Fox News viewers more misinformed and ignorant in comparison to others. Last year, a study from the University of Maryland found that
Fox News viewers were more likely to believe lies and false information about politics and world events.

It's better that you live in your own little world then to open your mind and walk in the light.
my light is the illumination OWS has used to expose the death grip corporateions, banks and the 1% have on America
your "light" is caused by the friction of hannity rubbing his two brain cells together
Obama could not call palin -
he could not stop laughing
Seriously, go away with your sensational gossip. Stop with obvious bait that no one will bite. You are transparent like water in my toilet bowl. It is a wonder that you still know how to breathe. Can you spell the word TROLL?
