    According to Media matters, polls reveal Fox viewers are exposed to so much misinformation that they are more likely to believe lies.  They are less informed than people who don't watch any news and those who watch mainstream media.  For examples, climate change, abortion, immigrants, critical race theory, sex education, capital riot, Trump, pandemic, vaccines and Russian invasion.

    Al Gore was completely wrong about climate change and made millions off of gullible people like yourself 

    Abortion? What are you talking about? 

    Immigrants? Legal or illegal? What are you talking about? 

    Critical Race Theory? What are you talking about? 

    Sex education? What are you talking about? Do you support grooming young children? 

    Capitol riot? 

    Trump? NYT got a Pulitzer for the fake news Russian story — NY Post got banned for the true news Hunter Biden story. Any questions?


    Please be specific in your arguments (if you have the ability).

    Haven't read that fact-based article yet (I will), but I can say "we believe these truths to be self-evident"

    Also a different article on the same factual revelations on Fox News viewers was posted here about a year ago.

    an_lightFollow up to Thirdperson's factual reporting...

    Fox News viewers transformed
    after watching CNN for 30 days,
    research finds


    THE INDEPENDENT -
    “Despite regular Fox viewers being largely strong partisans,
    we found manifold effects of changing the slant of their
    media diets on their factual beliefs, attitudes, perceptions of
    issues’ importance, and overall political views,”
    the authors of the study said.

    They found Fox News viewers became more likely to agree
    that if Trump made a mistake, Fox News would *NOT* cover it

    WOW!  I believed as much just from personal observations but now these facts are backed up by research from Stanford and Yale!

    i am not surprised .   very much like russian state tv is doing now      except fux news does that all the time

    They will occasionally cover bits and parts of news stories but if it doesn't glorify Trump in some way or support their extreme far right rhetoric then they will do little more than mention it  if at all.

    Just because someone doesn't agree with you, doesn't mean they watch Fox...There is a whole world out there of alternative news' sources that don't conform to the cookie cutter drumbeat of corporate propaganda that is offered up to us 24/7 on the major networks as 'truth'...

    It saddens me that most of you haven't broken away from all of that noise and are too mentally lazy to do your own research...the sources of information are out there and at our fingertips...try it some time.

    There needs to be much better balance over there.

    @Zeus4par

    It must feel strange wandering in the fog???

    FOX pushes the pro war narrative in the Ukraine louder and longer than CNN or MSNBC...Carlson is one of the few that doesn't beat the war drum. 

    FOX's Shepherd Smith, Juan Williams, Megyn Kelly, Donna Brazile, and Chris Wallace were all openly hostile towards Trump...and this was during his rise to power...all have since left and were not fired. 

    Plus, there are many other sources of information besides mainstream media but of course you live your life believing that corporate media is telling you the truth...so be it. Many of us do our own research and refuse to be delusional.

    Generally, democrats trust a wider variety of news sources than republicans.  In Economist/YouGov poll poll, 1500 Americans rate trustworthiness of media sources.  Most trusted are Weather channel +41, BBC +24, PBS +15, Wall street journal +13, CBS +7 and Associated press +7.  Least trusted are Bretbart -15, Fox news -14, MSNBC -11, OAN -6 and CNN -4.
