This video cites several studies which have been done demonstrating that the more you consume fox news, the less factually accurate your view of world events will become.

    • If the people like being fooled they will keep buying the FOX ticket. There has been plenty of evidence that they fix the news to fit their agenda. But the FOX regular listeners have been so brain washed they have become a characture of themselves.

    • if anyone is looking for the mainstream media for information in this country to give information then you might be gravely misinformed.

    • of course the brainless fools who watch and believe Faux Snooze would jump in to defend them as if they were some bastion of xtian morality and honesty. Fact is though that FauxSnooze tells more lies in a day than all the other media combined and the yahoos and redneck loons who watdch it would never be able to handle the fact that they truly ARE morons and fools who've been used by corporate media giants to move an agenda which is exactly what these people, in their VERY limited capacity are supposed to be against.

      Faux Snooze is the news for the stupid and the station for the gullible and easily led. Those who defend it are exactly that; stupid, gullible and misled.

    • Well, there is no doubt that their opinions are theirs. In fact too much opinion and not enough reporting, yeah I can see how one can actually get dumber by watching Fox News. No surprise here...

    • You hit the nail on the head, cwc_agent but in the case of FOX news they want people to consume their viewpoints to become more conservative more afraid and less respectful to pretty much the majority of the country. We cant really call Latinos, Native Indigenous, Asians and Africans minorities anymore because soon they will make up more than 50% of N.American population, if it doesn't already.. for some this is very scary and threatens their way of life they have maintained for hundreds of years. Fear drives FOX news and fear breeds hate.

    • I mean, thats the point right? People less knowledgeable about whats going on in the world are better consumers.
      Great Success.

    • By the way when I say video--I meant viral--and only this happens when I view material that is like this viral or that is similar (in the same category),that is on the top of the page everyone is commenting on, and it only happens view my Computer or laptop,and not when I view material like this on my T.V.(even though they don't show stuff like this on the television-WHICH is Obvious),but it only happens when I view these things on my COMPUTER or LAPTOP...Now can anyone please tell me why is this happening to me...Or does these kind of coincidental experiences happen to others on this website...

    • This may sound like if I'm paranoid,or may sound a bit funny ((and when I say funny I really mean"Weird" or "Coincidental")), but right when this video ended,And I mean right after the last word was said on this video my electricity turned completely off and I mean all the electricity in my home turned OFF!...But whats even funnier ((Remember,Not funny or funnier As in "AHAHA" I Mean as in "OH NO" or "OH SHIT")) is that it only turns it OFF when I view videos like this one or videos that are similar in content on my computer,and it happens immediately on the dot right after I view it...Now let me ask everyone something should I be concerned or a little bit worried about this. BECAUSE THIS REALLY IS HAPPENING,I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP FOR LAUGHS IT REALLY HAPPENS...SERIOUSLY...and it really bothers the SHIT outta me.

    • glad to see you're still pluggin along charles. I don't recall house republicans EVER standing up to Bush and Dick, maybe you could provide an example?

      "No. The nightly news has turned into a continuous "Obama Praise and Worship Fest". Pathetic, indeed.'

      examples? maybe you're just confused. When the president does a good thing, the media will report that. I guess after 8 years of a POTUS never doing ANYTHING right i can see why your confused. maybe you need some meds, you're living in the past.

      Oh, and here's Maddow smacking obama down

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jshogbjtYs

      you are the perfect example for us to point to after reviewing this article. thanks

    • IA study done by liberals is obviously going to come to liberal conclusions- filled with their own bias. It's no Gallup poll. In a totalitarian state, you would be in Utopia. Thank God we have the first amendment. O'Reilly wasn't beating around the bush, was he? Tiller was one shady character, who employed a woman who stabbed a baby born alive after a botched abortion. I'm not sure if she ever went to trial.....but Tiller's website was creepy- he even operated his own on site crematorium. I'd rather watch Fox than listen to Barbara Walters interview Anne Heche about her sex life, or hear Dan Rather telling his viewers why Benedict XVI is an oppressive Anti-Christ. The liberal, anti-christian bias is throughout, like an insiduous mold. See how they became Obama's loyal lap dogs, and all but proclaimed him "Lord and Savior". The adulation among the media was pathetic. Are you really going to learn anything intelligent by watching CBS or ABC? No. The nightly news has turned into a continuous "Obama Praise and Worship Fest". Pathetic, indeed.

      I think that people should stop being so lazy and stupid as to believe everything they hear without doing a bit of researching. All of the news if biased. That doesn't mean you should never pay attention. Americans need to learn to ask more questions and think for themselves more.

      I beg to differ in terms of what you said about liberal news stations being "anti-christian." I would consider them to be less "Christian-centric" than Conservative stations, not "anti-christian. Christianity is still the religion represented in the majority in the US, conservative station or no.

      Plus, not being Christian-centric is a good thing.

    • I don't know why the fcc allows 'faux news' to have that title or power. They misinform, misrepresent, and harm the public option. They should be taken off the air and replaced with an organization like democracynow!

    • People on Faux like Bill-o, who incite violence, encourage violence, justify violence (i.e. George Tiller), DESERVE TO BE LOCKED UP.

      There are limits to the first amendment. They like to tell you the first amendment says you get to say whatever you want to whoever you want, whenever you want, however you want, is NOT exactly true.

      You do not have the right to go on the air and lie. However, this case is tragically difficult because it is so impossible to prove these air-heads know they are lying. It is easier to say they are delusional.

    • Its part of the media, nevertheless, the media, entirely blinds you from what is really happening, makes you wonder...how many people are watching this, and this is why so many people, are still believing in pro-life things, so much more..Fox News is only doing its part to fill the "News" part in the media....

    • All news is biased, and history is biased. It all depends on who is forking out the cash to get their story across while suppressing opposing stories.
