Yeah, and I am sure they just dismissed Fox the way it was reported "here"... ------------------------------------------ Good grief man! *Who* dismissed Fox? Fox? If think for a moment, the Pew Study actually presents Fox News in a favorable light .... at least as compared to MSNBC .... in terms of time spent presenting news versus time spent delivering opinionated political commentary. Snerk..that Snottie is an amusing little man. |

A report released Monday by the Pew Research Center on media coverage over the past 5 years indicates that MSNBC (with the lowest overall budget) relies 85 percent on "opinions" by their commentators and 15 percent on actual reporting of news events. According to the study Fox News spends 55 percent of their air time on commentary opinions and 45 percent on reporting of actual news. CNN was rated as being the only cable network that spent more time reporting the news than opinion commentary. What a surprise. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/18/msnbc-opinion-cable-news_n_2900160.html I guess the difference is that opinion on MSNBC is stated as such, where on Fox it's unclear if it's opinion or facts. That's why multiple studies have shown that people who watch Fox regularly are much less well informed than any other viewing segment, including comedy shows like Jon Stewart. |

They're mostly an aggregator of news and opinion. What a dip****. You probably don't know what "aggregator" means. It doesn't have anything to do with reptiles. |

One of the problems is that "reporting" itself can be skewed in favor of certain types of stories. I'm not claiming that MSNBC doesn't do this, but again many studies have shown that fox watchers are less well informed. |

You were shaken not stirred. |

This is an unscientific study but my observations parallel what Pew says. My TV is on the news all day and CNN seems to be the one that does more reporting than commenting. I agree... Then why did you say that the findings were bull because they were reported on Huff Post, along with about 200 other places? |
