Wow way too many typos not to be corrected

Sorry the research you cite does not reach the same conclusions. Fox news has the most viewers, but is above the national average. Hmm, if Cnbc or MSNBC had that many viewers I bet they would be at the same level or if not lower. I love how idiots, like yourself, have no clue how to read statistics and the conclusions reached by them. Ironic that Hannity and Colmes viewers or Rush viewers are rated very high. That darn right wing is beating our butts in being informed, but we’ll leave that out. Hey you could be columnist in the New York Times or be a host on MSLSD. I heard a phrase that could serve all you ideologues some good, “How long does the earth have to keep cooling for people to finally abandoned the fallacy of Global Warming.” Funny how there is no evidence that supports the theory only lab work that still can’t be proven. But hey you could lecture me on how my relgious beliefs can’t be proven or are not scientific, but yet believe in the big bang theory and that all the missing gaps in evolution will magically fall the way you ……wait wait……what is the word…..”BELIEVE”

I was extremely disappointed when a friend of mine, an avid Fox watcher, called this quote from the above article into question: “Studies have consistently shown Fox viewers to be among the most misinformed Americans. A 2008 Pew study ranked Fox News dead last in the number of “high knowledge” viewers, with only 19 percent of Fox viewers able to correctly identify the majority party in Congress (Democrats), the name of the U.S. Secretary of State (Condoleezza Rice), and name of British Prime Minister (Gordon Brown).”

Those 2 statements were GROSSLY overstated the case & and FLAT OUT WRONG! Using the qualifier of ‘among’ while accurate is misleading. To me three studies over five years do not indicated “consistently.”

The 2007 Pew study linked showed network morning show viewers scored lowered.

The 2008 Pew Study linked DID NOT show any to be accurate: It showed that ELEVEN other categories, including CNBC, Local & Network news (17%) & CBS (10%) scored lower!

I trust thinkprogress as a source and am deeply offended at the misleading and factually inaccurate interpretation to make an editorial comment.

The above comment needs to be CORRECTED and an apology to the readers issued!

Vintage stupid there Colton. You win the moron of the month prize. Feel free to do the world a favor in that bunker. We just outlasted the closest thing to a fascist President we are ever likely to have. What is being spread here is the truth. Which only seems like hate to the stoopidest of the wingnut crowd. Good luck with that demented laughter thing.

I think what really has Hannity, Limbaugh and the likes are the fact that their bosses shelled out multi-millions of dollars for them to get the extreme right wingers back in the white house and they just wasted their money. If I ran my business like that I’d df closed up shop a long time ago.

John Ziegler’s career is pretty amusing. He gets fired a lot and blames other people for the way he was treated, despite lots of evidence that he’s a complete a-hole. He’s paranoid, a loudmouth, and perfect for Hannity.

Sean Hannity – One of the Great Mysteries of the Universe.

How can anybody so stupid, get paid so much, for doing absolutely nothing.

Amazing.

Hannity: If you don’t listen to talk radio, if you don’t watch the FOX News Channel, you’re not anywhere nearly as informed as people that are just hearing the bumper stickers…

WTF? Negative statements are always confusing. Besides, Hannity’s just too darned dishonest to speak the truth, so I’ll translate:

If you listen to talk radio, if you watch the FOX News Channel, you’re misinformed.

Because watch FOX and Hannity is cheaper that getting a degree or two, plus you don’t have to work, think, reason, or even display good hygiene. But you can get permission to feel superior to suckers to went to school.

just found, looking for something else there (balloon-juice):

Still Stupid After All Of These Years

by John Cole

Dear Ed,

He could duplicate the poll 100 times, continue to get similar results, and it doesn’t confirm anything, because the problem is the QUESTIONS ARE BAD. Additionally, the questions don’t even address what you think they address- how does asking people to discern between Palin’s nonsensical gibberish and Tina Fey’s impression of Palin prove media bias? If I bang my thumb with a hammer 100 times, it may hurt every time, but it most certainly doesn’t explain why the sun rises in the east.

Signed,

A Trained Monkey

PS- I would not interview Ziegler if I were you, Ed. He has a potty mouth, and you might get the vapors.

in case you missed it, last night keith interviewed Michael Wolff, who wrote “The Man Who Owns the News”, about rupert murdoch…

keith asked and wolff answered that murdoch would drop fox and pick up a liberal news show in a “(snap) new york minute” – IF there was 5 times the money… see at about 2:00:
