Fox viewers may not be so uninformed (CNN, bias, TV)

[Cida]

Fox viewers aren't as irremediably uninformed as you may have thought. A new study shows that they can take in more factual information, discern the truth, and change their minds.

This also confirms what is intuitively obvious, that most people who insult the better news sources usually don't watch/read them.

Or is it called brain washing? That could be said for anyone watching any tv.

Especially those who insult but don't watch Fox.


"Better" news? Really? Good grief.

Discussion on this is here.




If anything, I think it says more about the power of taking in TV visually and audibly - and how it affects how we think and what we believe.

Pay me and I'll watch CNN for as long as you want. After that, I'll go back to walking out of public areas that have CNN on. Or The View.

imagine being dumb enough to go to CNN for your "news"


Its great for fake news, though as has been proven over and over.

This "study" seems totally bogus. I don't know what kind of viewer would change his views based on what is told on various TV channels. Just silly.

Well there are all kinds of lists and charts and surveys, all indicating that CNN is more reliable than Fox.

Here's one:

During prime-time Fox News sure isn't the news. It's highly conservative commentary throughout mostly against Biden and the Democrats. But switch it to CNN and it is only news all about the Ukranian War. There is little time out for the news in the U. S. So you're uninformed in that way on CNN.
