Fox News Viewers Worst-informed, Study Finds

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Fox News viewers are less informed than those who watch other programmes, or no TV news at all, research has found.

A study conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, New Jersey, found that on average, the average American was able to correctly answer 1.8 out of four questions on international news and 1.6 out of five on domestic.

Fox News followers however only answered 1.04 domestic questions correctly, which is worse than those who said they watched no media at all – which stood at 1.22. » | Chris Irvine | Thursday, May 24, 2012
