Study: Watching Fox News Makes You Less Informed Than Watching No News
By Michael Kelley
Media outlets such as Fox News and MSNBC have a negative impact
on people’s current events knowledge, while NPR and Sunday morning
political talk shows are the most informative sources of news, according
to Fairleigh Dickinson University’s newest PublicMind survey.
Researchers asked 1,185 random nationwide respondents what news
sources they had consumed in the past week and then asked them questions
about events in the U.S. and abroad. On average, people correctly
answered 1.6 of five questions about domestic affairs.
