Fox..We report you decide? Maybe not....

Interesting article in today's Washington Post by Howard Kurtz. It basically confirms what most of us already knew; Fox is not the place to go if you want real news.

Studies in the past have demonstrated that Fox news watchers were the least informed when it came to information on the war in Iraq. I'd say this has something to do with it:

In covering the Iraq war last year, 73 percent of the stories on Fox News included the opinions of the anchors and journalists reporting them, a new study says.

By contrast, 29 percent of the war reports on MSNBC and 2 percent of those on CNN included the journalists' own views.

Media Notes

So be kind to those who watch Fox, they can't help the fact that they are so misinformed.
