Can watching Fox News actually make you dumber than if you didn't watch any news at all? (http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2011/11/rab_112911.html) Sure, some of us believe this, but until now there's been nothing other than anecdotal evidence and Sarah Palin to support our arguments. Now we've got facts that make the case with an empirical flourish.
Researchers with Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind Poll asked 612 New Jersey residents a variety of questions to test their awareness and knowledge of current events that dominated the news between October 17 and October 23. The poll's shocking conclusion was that people who described themselves as heavy Fox News viewers tended to be "even less informed than those who say they don't watch any news at all."

i am surprised they found 612 people in new jersey that watch the news - lol
any ways - that is a skewed poll, as most polls are
