People tend to believe what they believe, and not believe the evidence which comes from the opposing side.

Because I'm more likely to be properly informed on current events by watching no news rather than Fox news.


I call B.S. on that
You're only calling BS on that because it goes against your own convictions. How about you actually read it.


1. I read it
2. I'm calling B.S. on it because it seems fairly silly to think that someone who watches news doesn't know more than someone who doesn't.

Here
you countered a university study with a right-wing website.


Oh yea, this site is real right wing.

That depends on who's doing the poll. If you think that's the standard, then you're horribly misinformed.
Charlie is actually pretty accurate.

Surprisingly, sample sizes as small as 1000 to 2000 are typically used for polls such as Presidential approval, whose margin of error is within a couple of percentage points.


However, that study was conducted in New Jersey, and is only a representative of the population of New Jersey. Not the entire nation.

Posted by: MilitaryTheoristYou post a blatantly biased and prejudiced article as a counterpoint to hard evidence?

typical right-wing attitude: completely ignore any and all evidence that goes against whatever you believe to be reality.


Ouch, you hurt my feelings :(

Or you could actually use common sense and see how poorly conducted that study is.
Translation: you prefer to trust your own prejudices over actual evidence

A poorly conducted study isn't evidence, it's simply a poorly conducted study. Fox News provides evidence many times that contradicts liberal claims, and I'm sure you dismiss it simply because of the source. The fact that you all hold on to such poor claims is pathetic.


What makes it a bad study, why was it conducted badly?

Fox takes clips out of context to suit their agenda quite often. Their commentators are lying panderers and people who don't watch any news are more informed than those who watch Fox.

This guy also does a good job of summing it up.

Because a source called "Liberal Viewer" is going to post accurate information about a conservative news source. You're a hypocrite.


Did you even watch a single God Damn video of his? I bet not. Because it's completely accurate. It shows a clip from Fox News, explains that it's been cut and edited, then goes onto show the unedited clip, exposing Fox News. How that can be biased?

Because Liberals don't like to be told they're wrong, so they bury people talking about it under a slew of "hurr durr Faux News" jokes.

Fox News rarely provides evidence that would be viable in court. Most of the time their evidence is pulled out such minor details, or completely bull-blam!-, and blown out of proportion like they did with the birthers, death panels, and my personal favorite, the war on Christmas. These are things that would not get on national TV and would be laughed off a few decades ago but thanks to these fools they're considered important events that could shape the future of the country and result in less apple pie.

Their analysis of unemployment under Obama and the failure of his economic plan.
what? No, I mean what "liberal claim" did Fox provide actual contradicting evidence to?

Yeah, people don't like to be told they're wrong by people with no evidence to back up their claims.

I bet he also didn't check out his videos pointing out when MSNBC lies.

Also that, rofl.

I laugh so hard too. People think because they asked 1185 people that this dumb survey actually means anything.

My honor student can beat up your honor student.

Because MSNBC doesn't claim to be fair and unbiased unlike Fox News. MSNBC is very clear about their political position, and Fox News is too, but Fox News claims to be correct and fair when they are obviously skewed to the far right.

The media is also generally more liberal than conservative. Fox News gets crap for that by itself. They exponentially increase it through what I say above though.

Indirectly attacking me like a child. How typical.


That's definitely a no. Refusing to admit you're wrong and FOX is biased, eh?
