Livingston points to a 2010 University of Maryland study that found that Fox viewers are the most misinformed of all news consumers. They were significantly more likely than non-viewers to believe that scientists don’t agree that climate change is occurring, that the auto bailout happened solely under the Obama administration and that it’s unclear whether Obama was born in the United States.

The author should have noted the logical conclusion of the study is severely flawed. Aren't NBC News viewers more likely to believe the Duke lacrosse team was guilty, that Solyndra was a successful company and that Van Jones was a good patriotic appointment? Doesn't that make them the most uninformed of all news consumers?
