People who watch Fox News, the most popular of the 24-hour cable news networks, are 18-points less likely to know that Egyptians overthrew their government than those who watch no news at all (after controlling for other news sources, partisanship, education and other demographic factors).A new study from Fairleigh-Dickinson University, assessing which news outlets are the most informative. The most informative sources were, on the whole, NPR, The Daily Show, and Sunday morning shows as a whole. The least informative were Fox News, MSNBC, and “a local TV news broadcast.” (Unanswered: What about people who watch Fox News Sunday?) People who watched MSNBC were the most likely to mistakenly believe that Occupy Wall Street is a predominantly-Republican movement. (via shortformblog)
