The most informed people, watch The Daily Show and listened to NPR

Yep. And then I thought "And this SURPRISES YOU?!?!?! Have you SEEN Fox News?!?!?".

I finally changed what part of the gym I work out in, just so I can avoid it being on in front of me.

Hence, all of their questions would be based around the topics NPR covers. If they mainly watched BBC America for news it would have shown the BBC to be the best source.

Ultimately, you know FOX is a ratings whore, look at their coverage of the Casey Anthony trial. They didn't even discuss what was happing anywhere else in the world during that trial. It is more or less pop-culture reporting for the Bible-beating christian right. Same with MSNBC for the left.

Come along with us now, no sudden moves. You're getting fifty lashes with a wet beaver.

(We get Fox - those of us close to the border - but hardly anyone ever watches it.)

I'm pretty sure they're smart enough to recognize that up front.

If they excluded Brittany Spears as a topic, probably because the study focused on News.

The article starts out saying people usually could answer 1.8 foreign news And 1.6 domestic news correctly.

Then they say Fox could only get 1.04 domestic correct…and they show NPR listeners and Stewart viewers at 1.51 and 1.42 respectively trying to show how dumb fox viewers were.

But… NPR and Stewart scores were lower then the “People’s” 1.6 so the study shows people who listen to Fox…NPR…and Stewart viewers are all dumb asses compared to the “People”.

If you've ever heard a Canadian say "eh?" and somehow translated the spelling of such as "aye", this would explain your oft demonstrated congenital lack of comprehension in so many areas.
