Well, if you continuously spew their often unfounded, if not completely untrue talking points while discussing politics, that's probably where people get that from.

Not sure if you do or not, I haven't really noticed any of your posts haha......but just in my personal experience, the more uneducated people seem to be on issues (like that guy up there), or Obama and what he stands for, the more likely they are to watch Fox

I agree with you. Most people who watch Fox News depend too much on the words of others to form their opinions of politicians. Fox News Is ran completely on fear. 9-11 was a major winfall for them. I really believe they would not be as big as they are if it were not for 9-11

There's actually been a few studies conducted on how liberal people tend to get their news from several different sources while conservatives tend to rely on Fox, or a conservative website, etc

This was of course written off as liberal media bias.

Demographics also probably play a role in that.

People who are economically disadvantaged tend to make decsions based upon fear, hence FOX NEWS

Dems would get control of the house or senate in 2014 and it would become "they wouldn't let us reduce spending"...and the people will buy that spoon fed fox news lie

Not sure if he was referring to this study, which basically concluded that Fox News viewers are more misinformed in terms of current events compared to other viewers who get their news elsewhere or don't watch the media at all
