Study shows "people who watch Fox News ... are 18-points less likely to know that Egyptians overthrew their
government than those who watch no news at all"


That's awesome - just absorb that for a moment. Watching Fox makes you less informed than watching NO NEWS AT ALL. I seriously had a hard time stopping laughing. :)

Jon Stewart went on Fox news, and mentioned that report showed fox news watchers were badly informed. They roasted him for a week, coming up with their own report saying daily show and Colbert Report watchers were even less informed. But not by much, and it was a report Fox news paid for. Hysterical stuff.

I get my news from several places, but Daily and Colbert make it palatable, keep me from screaming and throwing things at the tv, b/c it's funny and not just heartbreakingly say how stupid it all is.
