You, once again, completely glossed over the study. Sure, viewers of FOX are conservative; that's their target audience. The study focused on misperceptions - stated another way, the swallowing of lies - of viewers, and found that FOX leads the pack in misinformed viewers. It also concluded that this misinformation was not somehow inherent in conservatives (although I've seen plenty of evidence to the contrary on SI). The conclusion is that they are misinformed because of their information source, which in a large part is FOX. FOX viewers are misinformed, regardless as to whether one station or another is liberal or conservative. NPR and PBS viewers are not misinformed.
