That’s funny ... by coincidence a new Fox News study finds University of Maryland researchers to be seriously misinformed.

A recent study of MSN viewers and NYT readers showed that 100% who said they voted for Obama believe raising taxes creates jobs.

"Misinformed" = "Don't believe state-run media's propaganda."

I am from maryland, and knowing what I do about this state, it is Highly Probable that they sent Jay Leno out to look for these people they interviewed.

Knowing the location of Maryland University, I doubt there are many Fox viewers around to ask..Mostly Democrat entitlement grifters in Prince George’s county. I doiubt they watch Fox.

“voters were asked whether the TARP program, otherwise known as the bailout, was started under President Bush or President Obama”

A push question. You’re looking for a certain outcome.

Now choose other important questions, such as the history of the current president of the United States, his votes on key issues while in Illinois, etc., etc., and you will find that CNN/MSNBC/Network viewers are more “uninformed”.

Push polls are absolutely 100% meaningless. The sooner that fact is understood by a plurality of the people, the sooner we can be free. It’s a fact that leads to many other facts.

Here we go again! Another study funded by the Left that purports to show conservatives as mouth breathing, knuckle dragging monkeys... Trust us, U of M... we know EXACTLY what is going on and we also know who your big donors are. Keep publishing this junk and you will begin to see smaller and smaller donations each year... Defund the LEFT!

They should have asked if a certain Senator who shall remain nameless, but who will be vacationing in Hawaii soon approved of TARP in the Senate.

American voters to be vastly misinformed.

The standard of evaluation of whether a person is misinformed is if they agree or not with statist government bureaucrats or libtard economists.

All the Ob0z0s who voted for Zer0 were obviously mal-informed by the media.

There’s a great analysis of everything that’s wrong with this poll (long post, but worth the read for anyone who’s interested):

FReepers are #1 at being up to speed. Fox viewers are #2. MSNBC and alphabet watchers are so damn politically dumb that it’s pathetic.

I find many “Lifetime” and “BET” viewers to be misinformed as well; what is their point?

Here's another take on this story:

Extended exposure to Fox News makes voters stupid, university study finds

Exactly right. I started to read it, but got to the point where you were “misinformed” if you thought global warming is a hoax. Right, if they’re going to keep beating that drum, they can expect zero credibility.

I find them misinformed.

"Over 40% of respondents said President Obama started TARP even though TARP was signed into law by President Bush on October 3rd of 2008. This sort of misinformation within the American electorate shows up again, and again, and again in crucial areas of public policy."

Hey, this is great news.

It means Obambi is getting the blame, even for stuff he didn't do.

The worm is turning...I like it.
