“People who watch Fox News, the most popular of the 24-hour cable news networks, are 18-points less likely to know that Egyptians overthrew their government than those who watch no news at all (after controlling for other news sources, partisanship, education and other demographic factors).” A new study from Fairleigh-Dickinson University, assessing which news outlets are the most informative. The most informative sources were, on the whole, NPR, The Daily Show, and Sunday morning shows as a whole. The least informative were Fox News, MSNBC, and “a local TV news broadcast.” (Unanswered: What about people who watch Fox News Sunday?) People who watched MSNBC were the most likely to mistakenly believe that Occupy Wall Street is a predominantly-Republican movement.  (via shortformblog)
