The Fox News "Effect": Following the Data

I have been traveling, and so haven't posted to DeSmogBlog in a while. But now I'm back, and I've got a pretty big piece over there that summarizes the research (5 studies, at least that I've found so far) on correlations between watching Fox News and being more misinformed about public policy issues. Yup, that's right: I've found five separate studies on this so far--touching on the Iraq War, global warming, health care, the Ground Zero mosque, and the 2010 election. I'm not really sure whether they've all been pulled together before--or, whether there are more of them out there that I just haven't seen yet. If you know of any, post the links here! Meanwhile, head on over to DeSmogBlog for the rundown.
