FoxNews disingenuous as ever.

Ive never watched Fox news, I try to stay away from American news, it always seems everything is blown out of proportion and always has some biased slant to it, Like Fox is very slanted towards the Republicans.

actually there was something done, a study or something similar conducted in 2004 which compared daily show viewers to oreilly viewers. Suffice to say, daily show viewers came out to be more informed.

Viewers of Jon Stewart's show are more likely to have completed four years of college than people who watch "The O'Reilly Factor," according to Nielsen Media Research.

...

Comedy Central also touted a recent study by the University of Pennsylvania's National Annenberg Election Survey, which said young viewers of "The Daily Show" were more likely to answer questions about politics correctly than those who don't.

Okay, I was a little off. Not only were Daily Show viewers more informed, they're also better educated.

Imagine that.

D00d - there is nothing there that states causation. YOU are adding that yourself.

That's complete bull and you know it. When reading headlines people read correlation as causation. FOX knows that most people don't read past the headline to get the actual story. Using this FOX was able to "report" to it's viewers that Pelosi is responsible for rising gas prices. Whatever they actually reported is beside the point because the reality is that most people who saw the headline didn't hear the actual story and FOX knows this. This is the epitome of propganda; putting out information that is untrue without ever actually lying to do it.

Fox producer #1: "Hey let's run this Pelosi thing just to jerk with the left-wingers that watch."

Producer #2: "You don't think they'll take it seriously do you? Like we're actually blaming her?"

#1: "Naaahh - nobody's that stupid. It'll be fun."

#2: "OK, cool. But if we start getting hate mail from all the loonies out there, you're answering it."

A fascinating look into your imagination, I'm sure, but considering all the "mistakes" that Fox News has made in the past that end up benefiting the Bushite cause, I have to say I find it extremely unlikely.

"Find it" whatever you like. No one but you cares.

More likely the conversation was more about how to blame the Dems yet retain deniability for spreading misinformation.

Well guys, look who's up in arms over the thing. It's really entertaining from my perspective.
