Study Confirms That Fox News Makes You Stupid | | AlterNet:

Congratulations, Fox News, you have succeeded in stupiding down your audience to the point that they just swallow your appalling lies as gospel truth. You have intentionally dumbed down America for your own (and the Republican Party's) ends.

Fox News Viewers came in first in 8 of 9 questions. They should be so proud as they scoot around on their Rascals.
# 91 percent believe the stimulus legislation lost jobs
# 72 percent believe the health reform law will increase the deficit
# 72 percent believe the economy is getting worse
# 60 percent believe climate change is not occurring
# 49 percent believe income taxes have gone up
# 63 percent believe the stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts
# 56 percent believe Obama initiated the GM/Chrysler bailout
# 38 percent believe that most Republicans opposed TARP
# 63 percent believe Obama was not born in the U.S. (or that it is unclear)

"The fact that Fox News is so blatantly dishonest, and the effects of that dishonesty have become ingrained in an electorate that has been been purposefully deceived, needs to be made known to every American. Our democracy cannot function if voters are making choices based on lies."

Fox News represents a clear and present danger to the health of the country. They are intentionally working to spread misinformation to keep the country divided and allow the Republicans to stay relevant despite their dogged insistence on getting more money for the richest people in the country, their desire to screw over the poor at nearly every turn and their hatred of having an intelligent, articulate and reasonable black man as the President of the United States of America.

If you watch Fox News and vote then you are part of the problem, you are being used as a pawn by these lying asshats and you are making America weaker by subscribing to haters, liars and jackholes.
