A recent study by the University of Maryland has found viewers of Fox news are more misinformed about political issues than viewers of other channels. It found that they were more likely to believe the following FALSE statements:

• Most scientists do not agree that climate change is occurring
• The stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts
• The auto bailout only occurred under Obama
• When TARP came up for a vote most Republicans opposed it

The Senior Vice President for Fox News, Michael Clemente, responded the the study, “The latest Princeton Review ranked the University of Maryland among the top schools for having ‘Students Who Study The Least’ and being the ‘Best Party School’ – given these fine academic distinctions, we’ll regard the study with the same level of veracity it was ‘researched’ with.” Ouch.

Check out the study for yourself- does it seem legit?  Should people stop making fun of Fox News?  (Should Fox News stop making it so easy to?)
