Colbert and Stewart went to court to retain a "right to lie", when?

WTF?

Did I say they lie?

They are "comedians", and I use that term lightly.

Yep, your shallow Sallow.

Man you're jumpy. Little on the guilty side.

I thought you knew that FOX went to court to retain the "right to lie"..

Sheesh..ease up on the coffee dude.

Got any proof of that? Other than Huff-o-POS, Politico, or Mediamashers.... they are trolls.

And no, Im not jumpy.... just sick of leftwing idiots.

I'm still waiting to meet anybody who self identifies as the "Liberal Intellectual Elite" and based on the Libs I've met here who are supposedly so much better education and informed, I don't believe any actually exist

Change the channel every so often..or better yet..get out some.

 

[Jeremy]

Funny, I see Fox and CNN on the list but not MSNBC. I wonder why?

 

[Trajan]

no offense, but if you are really standing on a 3% difference in 'knowledge' as some proof positive that there is any meaningful disparity, well I guess I have to add this to the need a 'confidence boost' column. And yes this is 3 years old...anyway.

from Pew-

There are substantial differences in the knowledge levels of the audiences for different news outlets. However, there is no clear connection between news formats and what audiences know. Well-informed audiences come from cable (Daily Show/Colbert Report, O'Reilly Factor), the internet (especially major newspaper websites), broadcast TV (NewsHour with Jim Lehrer) and radio (NPR, Rush Limbaugh's program). The less informed audiences also frequent a mix of formats: broadcast television (network morning news shows, local news), cable (Fox News Channel), and the internet (online blogs where people discuss news events).

Just b/c they say they have the right to lie... does'nt mean they actually lie.

You trolls amaze me at how stupid you all actually are.

Every other news agancy has the same right also.... or is that just reserved for "Fauxnews".

Intellectual honesty is'nt one of your better traits Shallow.

 

[rdean]

MSNBC seems like it's gone crazy because when they report what Fox viewers believe, it seems just too unbelievable.

200 million dollars a day

one tenth of our Navy

Using video from one rally to boost the numbers of another rally.

Altering pictures of people you don't like.

The owner selling the second largest share to a Saudi Prince who publicly hates this country.

 

[Trajan]

Don't expect any more links from me..

They didn't rate high enough to get on the list

 

[daveman]

If you watch FOX and nothing else..

Then reality is completely alien to you.

Same with MSNBC.

Wrong.

Nice try, though.

MSNBC is partisan but they don't lie like FoxNews.

Horseshit.

If they lied like Fox they would be conservatives, which is why they tell liberal lies.

ThinkProgress SURVEY: Daily Show/Colbert Viewers Most Knowledgable, Fox News Viewers Rank Lowest

The statistic about all of this that worries me is that there are people who think The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are news shows. How can people who believe that be more knowledgeable than people who watch actual news shows?

As usual, if you dig into the numbers, you will see that the most knowledgeable people are actually the ones who read.

That survey is from 2007. Are things even still the same?

And the questions asked? How do they ask them?

Dont see enough information here.

These partisan idiots don't get that the Daily Show is comedy. These are the same people that put Obama in office. Pretty sad.
