ace....frequency matters.
And, like otto, I guess you choose to ignore or ridicule the recent survey that
I posted earlier that showed Fox viewers more likely to be misinformed on basic public policy issues.
Or a 2003 survey on misperceptions about the war in Iraq:
Quote:
The extent of Americans’ misperceptions vary significantly depending on their source of news. Those who receive most of their news from Fox News are more likely than average to have misperceptions.
While it would seem that misperceptions are derived from a failure to pay attention to the news, in fact, overall, those who pay greater attention to the news are no less likely to have misperceptions. Among those who primarily watch Fox, those who pay more attention are more likely to have misperceptions. Only those who mostly get their news from print media have fewer misperceptions as they pay more attention.
