Despite the fact that 24-7 “news” channels like CNN and MSNBC are both considered less trustworthy and more opinion than news, the left likes to disparage FOX News and its viewers as the evil leading the stupid.
It would seem that “the evil” have been telling “the dumb” quite a large number of facts.
Republicans more informed than Democrats, According to Pew Research
Out of 12 questions asked, Republicans outperformed both Democrats and Independents on 10. The differences were most pronounced on the questions regarding Common Core, fracking and where Shiites outnumber Sunnis, where the percentage of Republicans answering correctly outpaced Democrats by double digits. But Republicans also outperformed Democrats on questions centering on the federal minimum wage and the Fed Chairwoman, even though she’s a Democrat appointed by Obama, while the minimum wage is Democrats’ favorite wedge issue this election year to try to keep Harry Reid (D – Nevada) as the Senate Majority Leader.
Democrats only outscored Republicans in naming the primary Ebola outbreak location and the federal poverty rate, but only by 2 and 5 percentage points, respectively.
While FOX may be an echo chamber, the leftists favored news readers reside in a Grand Canyon sized steel box where facts are considered much less important.
