southbeach1500 saidBTW..... from the "Alternet" mission statement:
AlterNet has developed a unique model of journalism to confront the failures of corporate media, as well as the vitriol and disinformation of right wing media, especially “hate talk” media.
But a few of us on here already knew that this is just another liberal, biased "source."
http://open.salon.com/blog/jimmy_zuma/2010/12/16/fox_news_top_source_of_voter_misinformation_study_findsThe researchers didn’t originally intend to rank news outlets. They simply wanted to know sources of voter misinformation. Ramsay discovered the unusual FOX correlation—the more you watch the worse it gets—unexpectedly, while sifting through the data. FOX was alone in this regard.

The effect was also not simply a function of partisan bias, as people who voted Democratic and watched Fox News were also more likely to have such misinformation than those who did not watch it--though by a lesser margin than those who voted Republican
same studyIn most cases increasing exposure to news sources decreased misinformation; however, for some news sources on some issues, higher levels of exposure increased misinformation.

Yeah, funny how liberals consider liberal outlets "unbiased."
http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/brunitedstatescanadara/671.php?nid=&id=&pnt=671&lb=There were cases with some other news sources as well. Daily consumers of MSNBC and public broadcasting (NPR and PBS) were higher (34 points and 25 points respectively) in believing that it was proven that the US Chamber of Commerce was spending money raised from foreign sources to support Republican candidates. Daily watchers of network TV news broadcasts were 12 points higher in believing that TARP was signed into law by President Obama, and 11 points higher in believing that most Republicans oppose TARP.

"Malicious intent ????"
Fox "News ?"
Gosh, yuh think ?
The FCC should make a rule that would not allow a program to call itself a "news" program unless it followed stringent guidelines. Otherwise, as the study showed, the general public can be easily misled (FOOLED) by liars and propaganda mills, like Faux News.
musclmed saidsee when liberals are less than 23% of the population and far left leaning liberals are 8%, someone has to explain away for it to be that way.
It must be bias , propaganda, fox, rush Limbaugh.
Guess what, people have a right to feel the way the want to. And they do for a lot of reasons.
For me it boils down to a few things, I grew up in New York. It was a cess pool of corruption until Guilani took over. He is a libertarian-Repub. He has gay best friends, he cleaned up the city.
I like paying less in taxes. I like government to not get involved in my life.
I dont second guess how others feel politically. I dont think they are somehow BRAINWASHED, or spewing propaganda. I dont psychoanalyze even though I have some training to do so why people are so compelled to dismiss others they disagree with.

Asked for comment on the study, Fox News seemingly dismissed the findings. In a statement, Michael Clemente, who is the senior vice president of news editorial for the network, said: “The latest Princeton Review ranked the University of Maryland among the top schools for having ‘Students Who Study The Least’ and being the ‘Best Party School’ – given these fine academic distinctions, we’ll regard the study with the same level of veracity it was ‘researched’ with.”
Mr. Clemente oversees every hour of objective news programming on Fox News, which is by far the nation’s most popular cable news channel.
For the record, the Princeton Review says the University of Maryland ranks among the “Best Northeastern Colleges.” It was No. 19 on the Review’s list of “Best Party Schools.”
The study was backed by two parts of the University of Maryland, the Center on Policy Attitudes and the Center for International and Security Studies.

What is it about you guys in MN? You have this delusion that if a gay guy isn't a liberal / Democrat / socialist, he is "self-loathing."
mnboy said
Delusional?
Only delusions here is that you seem to think that the Republican party doesn't hate gays..
Youre Republican..
Youre gay..
Not that hard to figure out.

answering your slant on liberals being obsessed by FoxBut SB, the investigators weren't even looking for this. The data found its way to the investigators:

And would you please care to comment on the 4 pages of the study which shows:

And the more you watch, the worse it gets (the tables are there if you click on the pdf link), except for the category "It was proven that the US Chamber of Commerce was spending foreign money to back Republicans" which was more a reverse trend. Coincidence?
In most cases increasing exposure to news sources decreased misinformation; however, for some news sources on some issues, higher levels of exposure increased misinformation.
