Fox News Fails

If you're watching Fox News...you might just be wasting your time. A recent study found that adults who don't watch the news performed better than those who watched Fox News on a series of questions. The people who did the best were those who listened to NPR, watched the news on Sunday mornings, and yes even those who watch The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. The phone survey was given to 612 adults in New Jersey.
Fox has a reputation for being less than reliable and pretty much a joke. Most people I know don't watch it. I watch The Daily Show every night and while he does not go too in-depth on topics, at least people retain information and the information is correct. If a satirical show on a comedy TV station can be more informative than a real news show....then that's bad. Fox needs to step up and start becoming more serious. Also, people need to start paying attention to what's going on in the world around them. The results of this survey showed faults with a news station, but it was also a reflection of American society now. We are living in a time when people don't really pay attention to the news or what is going on globally. People are too concerned with trivial things. Maybe a show like The Daily Show, that keeps viewers interested by not being so serious would be a better format for news...but would opinion get in the way of hard news? That would be a never-ending debate.
