"They told me what they wanted to do and I said I could do it, he claimed. Nichols said the moderate Republicans behind the PAC supporting this effort wanted to counter the effect of the Tea Party and encourage moderates to come forward. Making people embarrassed to say they watched FOX News (or better yet not watch FOX News at all) might help that goal. So the 5000 people who took part in the study were chosen by Nichols and non-scientists, essentially selected to guarantee the results they were looking for. We stuck to the rural South, said Nichols, who admitted they had a hard time finding conservatives in Alabama and other states who didnt watch FOX News but dug them up to give the study some balance."
