David asks…
Which voters are more informed? Those who watch Fox News are those who don’t?

Interesting study, but not surprising in my opinion.
Michelle answers:
The latter. Neocons don’t care. Most don’t do their own research just like being spoon fed by Hate News. I mean Faux News. “/
Mandy asks…
Is Fox “news” for dummies?
Another study has concluded that people who only watch Fox News are less informed than all other news consumers.
Researchers at Fairleigh Dickinson University updated a study they had conducted in late 2011. That study only sampled respondents from New Jersey, where the university is located. This time, the researchers conducted a nationwide poll.
Thanks to another question for source;

Let’s be fair and balanced, Fox “news” is really entertainment with the guise of being news reporting.
The phrase “For Dummies” comes from a line of marketing products that is intended for the easy public consumption of information. This is how I applied it to the question regarding Fox news.
The researchers from Fairleigh Dickinson University conducted the study, while Huffington Post online journal has reported on the results.
Michelle answers:
Faux news is as dumb as you can get, they spoon feed the republicans what they want to hear though so it gets a lot of ratings from the sheep.

If you start laughing uncontrollably, please sit or lie down.
Michelle answers:
Ah FOX…I call them the White house press release office.
Nuff said
George asks…
Instead of attacking FOX News directly, should Obama just give all the reporters demeaning nicknames?
I mean, that’s what Bush would have done, right?
“Ever notice how impatient Bush is at press conferences with questions, like, ‘What right do you have to ask me a question?’ … I would say he’s a bully. It’s classic bully syndrome. The nicknames, for instance, are bullying.”

Michelle answers:
It seems you don’t recall Bush defending the Dixie Chicks right to express themselves in this (then free) country even though they’d just made idiots out of themselves by thinking their pea-brained opinion of him mattered to people. Record sales proved them wrong, but none the less, Bush did not mount an attack, but instead stood up for their freedom of speech.
Additionally, after the shoe-thrower pitched his best shot, Laura Bush, instead of admonishing the action, stated that the level of freedom in that country has most definitely increased for this to have happened at all, so while it was not something that anyone would want specifically, it does speak volumes for the success our soldiers have had in bringing freedom to that part of the world.
Both treated it appropriately. Not like a petulant child(OBAMA), lining up favorites to shun that person at recess, but like a parent/authority figure (of which a GOOD president IS) when dealing with a misinformed and poorly behaved teen. They each recognized the person’s need for individual freedom of expression and realized that the fact the “teen” felt comfortable expressing themselves as such without fear of repercussions meant that their leadership as parents/authoritarians was a success. At that point, society, time and maturity would have to hone off all the rough edges.
