PIPA Report - Fox News Makes You More Misinformed
If you've never read the PIPA report on misperceptions of the war and how news coverage shapes them, read this:

http://www.pipa.org/OnlineReports/Iraq/Media_10_02_03_Report.pdf


It's a must read. Send it to all your conservative friends and relatives who insist that Fox News is not biased.


Basically, the conclusion is that people who get their news from NPR are the most informed and hold the least misperceptions about the war, and people who watch Fox are less informed and hold the most misperceptions about the war.


This may be an old report (October 2003), but man... it's good stuff.

2. Then they are probably considering themselves a success
It always seemed to me their main goal was dumbing down the masses. It is working.
