Here’s a hint: The answer isn’t Fox News viewers.

Research conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University finds that those who watch the network are less informed than those who don’t watch news at all. It is one of several studies to find similar results.

Participants were asked to answer questions about their news habits, followed by inquires about current events. Those who identified as Fox viewers proved to know the least on the matters.

The results show us that there is something about watching Fox News that leads people to do worse on these questions than those who don’t watch any news at all.”

Those who go to sources like NPR, USA Today, and the New York Times were generally more informed. Followers of “The Daily Show” were also found to have a better understanding of the issues.

Jon Stewart has not spent a lot of time on some of these issues. But the results show that when he does talk about something, his viewers pick up a lot more information than they would from other news sources.”
