Stewart vs. O'Reilly
Posted by Stephen Waits Sun, 28 May 2006 01:07:48 GMT
An article over at Media Matters has a few interesting points to make:
… studies have shown that viewers of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart are consistently better informed about current events than consumers of other media, and Daily Show viewers are considerably better educated than viewers of The O’Reilly Factor. Further, consumers of Fox News in general have been found to be significantly more misinformed about current events than consumers of other mainstream media.
That’s good stuff. I know a few highly educated people who gulp down everything O’Reilly says like mid-westerners on meth. Formal education doesn’t translate to intelligence, or one’s ability to see clearly. Those political blinders are thick.
