latimes: A new survey of New Jersey voters comes to a provocative conclusion: Fox News viewers tend to be less informed about current events than those who don’t watch any news at all. That’s because the only thing that ever happens on FOX News isn’t actual news reporting — it’s a bunch of curmudgeonly white males (with the occasionally moderately attractive white female) sitting around guffawing about “the liberal agenda” and making really terrible jokes. There’s usually a bunch of flashy graphics floating around the screen to distract you from the fact that nothing is happening and nobody is saying anything. FOX News is the only cable news channel that I can get on my TV at work, so I should know.
