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.”
And just in case Doren‘s video isn’t enough, it’s important to note (as we did in our original piece) that the WorldPublicOpinion.org website includes the Tides Foundation as one of its major sponsors. That group is directly connected to George Soros.
The study was also debunked by columnist David Zurawik of the Baltimore Sun. As he points out, the study admits in its own pages that the term “misinformed” is relative:
Here is the big, fat wonking problem with the survey: How do you define “misinformed” and “informed”?
The researchers seemed to understand this, and to their credit, they acknowledge it at the top of their findings. Bu they choose to deal with it only in what they term a “note.”

Anything connected with satan Soros is a lie.
This really explains that Liberalism is a Mental Illness…and they go on to PROVE it!! They can't seem to stand us, and we really can't stand them!!! I don't know how it is possible to compromise with them! http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pag…
Faux News used to be fairly good, but they have lost their way. I'm sure their viewers are more fair and balanced than they are. But then, they are only reading the scripts provided to them by their owners in Saudi Arabia. They, too, will stand by the Muslims, along with the usurper. I get all my news online. I watch the tabloid Fox for entertainment only, but they seem to be failing in that respect too.
That must be why FOX has the most viewers and highest ratings! FOX has the guts and integrity to have both sides give their views. They admit to being a conservative pro-American news organization, they don't lie and pretend to give you news when they really are giving American's govt. controlled information. To the point of being totally deceptive and leaving out info to make their Marxist agenda appear legit.
Example: Death panels aka End of Life counseling. All the other govt. controlled "news" agencies will let you know. That was passed and put into effect during the Bush yrs. so it’s obviously his fault. What these govt. controlled agency’s fail to reveal is Bush vetoed the bill and the Democratic controlled Congress overrode his veto and they passed it. So the real blame is on the Marxists, communists, socialists and closet socialists, progressives in Congress who are for and passed the bill for death panels.
Dick B.O. promised to take that provision out (so he could get it passed) of the bill before signing. He took it out signed the bill and put it right back in on Dec. 3rd. Did the other great news outlets reveal that?
Your blanket statement is not a true reflection of Fox News. If you watch just the editorial shows like Beck, Hannity, O'Reily and Huckabee then yes. But American News room, Shep Smith, Brett Bair, Bill Hemmer and Chris Wallace are fair and balance. So using a blanket statement that Fox is reading for the Saudi's script is insane. The people that are most critical of Fox are the one that only like to reference the Editorial shows. MSNBC, CNN, and the others all have the same type of split, so in truth Fox is the Fair and balance to all the other Oberman, Mattews, Joy Bair (Or what ever her name is. And I'm not sure why someone thinks she is so politically savvy.) I think that they all have their own agenda and I don't waste my time on anything except the "News" programs. Sorry for the misspells, but name always screw me up. Have a good day. PS Get your "News" from all sources, not just the ones you agree with. It may make you a more independent thinker and open both sides eyes to the terms "News" VS Editorials.
Well now that , that is settled we can get on to the serious business of ousting Rino's and Dem's.
Just one more case of where When you can't have total control, you create "DOUBLE STANDARDS." and if not for these Double Standards used by these very little people they would have no standards at all.
So take this rhetoric for its face value, ZERO.

Lets have a face-off to find out who is more misinformed. Fox viewers against all of the other media. The first problem would be the type of questions asked. Are they going to be based on truth or what the propaganda media has told them?
One person interviewed people on camera as they came out of voting places and asked them questions. I don't remember any of the questions, but the democrats believed the republicans were to blame for some things they didn't like that the democrats made law. So, first, we have to decide what kind of questions are to be asked.
