That Pew poll has some other interesting tidbits. people-press.org The Washington Times mentioned it too. Left and right Conservatives and liberals have markedly different news tastes, with conservatives emerging as the more politically-inclined news hounds, according to an "Audience Ideology Profile," part of a sizable new media study released yesterday from the Pew Research Center. For example, more than twice as many conservatives read political magazines than do liberals (52 percent to 23 percent). The same is true of call-in radio shows (46 percent to 18 percent.) Meanwhile, 72 percent of conservatives listen to Rush Limbaugh, as opposed to 6 percent of liberals. Another 67 percent of conservatives listen to religious radio, compared with 6 percent of liberals. While 56 percent of the conservative audience favor Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor," only 5 percent of liberals tune in. Fox is the channel of choice among 46 percent of the conservatives, according to the Pew survey. But 32 percent of centrists also said they watched Fox, along with 18 percent of the liberals. Fox, in fact, is viewed by more people compared with CNBC, CNN, MSNBC, local news and nightly network news, according to the survey. Conservatives also take in more National Public Radio, PBS' "News Hour," CNN's "Larry King Live," late night and daytime talk shows and even more Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey than their liberal counterparts. But the liberals do beat the conservatives in one arena. According to Pew, 45 percent of the liberals read "literary magazines," as opposed to 20 percent of the conservatives. washtimes.com
