SURVEY: Daily Show/Colbert Viewers Most Knowledgable, Fox News Viewers Rank Lowest

A new study by the Pew Research Study shows that viewers of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report have the highest knowledge of national and international affairs, while Fox News viewers rank nearly dead last:

  • Fox still made the top four and the top group contains a couple of right leaning shows. Look where CNN is and MSNBC did not even rank to get a mention. LOL

  • Those who receive most of their news from Fox News are more likely than average to have misperceptions


    what this garbage intentionally leaves out ... WHO determines what is a MISPERCEPTION ??

    These 'people' would state that labeling AYERS, MARX, LENIN, PUTIN as communist would be considered a misperception of TRUE DEMOCRATS!

    O'Reilly is a Fox Show. lets also look at the intelligence points this report provided and see that O'Reilly viewers were just about tied with Daily Show viewers on their knowledge points. Since no standard of error measurement was provided, the intelligence point differences between the daily show viewer and O'Reilly are insignificant. Zero CNN shows made the top 10 for intelligence. You must be one of those really bright MSNBC viewers who gets his own attempted intellectual elitism used against him. FAIL

  • Well, thank goodness I watch them all...The Daily Show AND the Colbert Report to appease the lefty/comedian in my pantheon of personalities, and FOX News for the righty/concerned citizen...Of course, there is no room for both if you're a normal person, right?

    Once again, I'm (we're) pleased to be schizo.

  • Funny how liberals know the answers to talking points. Libby, war dead? Come on, ask a question like "who was Che?" Who was/is Castro/Stalin/Lenin? They would know these guys as leading thinkers. Get real Pew and stop trying to make your research fit so well with your name.

    And as that study shows those ratings do not mean sh_it. If anything it shows that Fox News is good at getting a large audience of people with a low IQ.
