People who watch no news at all can answer more questions about international current events than people who watch cable news, a survey by Fairleigh dikkinson University’s PublicMind finds.

NPR and Sunday morning political talk shows are the most informative news outlets, while exposure to partisan sources, such as Fox News and MSNBC, has a negative impact on people’s current events knowledge.

People who watch MSNBC and CNN exclusively can answer more questions about domestic events than people who watch no news at all. People who only watch Fox did much worse. NPR listeners answered more questions correctly than people in any other category.

The survey of 1185 random people conducted by landline and cell phone in early February follows a similar poll FDU conducted last November, which surveyed only New Jersey residents and returned similar results.

I am a proud member of whyy/npr. I have never watched fox news or their local news coverage, only their primetime and sports programming. truthfully, I dont watch much msnbc or cnn either. The former is a shell of their former self, and the latter is a hypocritical joke.

Only televised news worth watching is BBC, PBS, al Jazeera, or Democracy Now. Aside from that NPR all the way.

Water isn't wet. Wetness is a description of our experience of water, what happens to us when we come into contact with water in such a way that it impinges on our state of being. We, or our possessions, 'get wet'.

But NPR is funded by the gubment! It's an arm of Obama propaganda! How can their viewers be more informed than a privately-owned voice of truth in the wilderness like Fox News?
