Least Informed Audience: Fox News (Pew Survey) VIDEO

The Pew Survey concluded that Fox News had the least-informed cable news audience in the country.




"The inevitable dominance of online media is quickly becoming a reality, a new Pew survey showed on Thursday. The organization's biennal study of American news consumption was as stark a piece of evidence of the decline of newspapers as media-watchers are likely to find. Pew reported that more people now consume their news online than through newspapers or radio...Pew pointed out that the TV audience is aging, with the percentage of 18-to-29-year-olds watching tumbling 15 points in the last six years. The study also showed that CNN's audience has dropped substantially in the last four years; that Rachel Maddow's audience was the most-informed out of all of the audiences quizzed on current events; and that Fox News had the least-informed cable news audience in the country."
