But really I'm not the least bit surprised that Fox news viewers aren't with the Liberal agenda.
Typical of an ignorant commentator. If you read the article you would know the questions that were asked. Reality is measured by things like "who won the Republican Iowa primary". From your somewhat less than brilliant analysis, you've concluded that knowing the answer to this puts you with the "Liberal agenda". Frankly, that's just stupid. Sorry, "no insult" policy. Let's just revise that to illogical.

So you are implying he is likely a Fox News viewer then :)
We have another data point for the study!
You must keep in mind that one of the very things that makes Fox News viewers less informed is that any fact that does not support their position (and can't be fibbed away) is blamed on liberal bias. Its a viscous cycle, because when they spend their time whining about the liberal bias they can't report any actual news, which in turn makes them do even dumber, more less informed, stuff. They have reached a point where overwhelming number of the facts do not support their positions so all they do is whine and lie, no time left for any news. As some have pointed out it *is* more entertaining than the dry stuff (you know, facts) on the other channels, but the danger is that some people actually think it constitutes *news*.
Megan McCain gets it.. Will be interesting to see when the rest of her party wakes up and stops going down the rabbit hole.

Farleigh Dickinson University expanded on a previous study that asked basic questions on domestic and foreign policy. As anyone who is not a Fox viewer would expect, Fox news viewers were the least informed, doing more poorly than those who watched no news at all. So essentially it indicates that watching Fox news makes you dumber.
