It is great journalism because finally somebody in the mainstream media has yelled out that the "fair and balanced" faux News, "has no clothes"! Under Roger Ailes Fox News is a "political campaign - a 24/7 political campaign " for the Republican and Tea Party! And this quote says it all : The result of this concerted campaign of disinformation is a viewership that knows almost nothing about what's going on in the world"....A study by the University of Maryland reveals "ignorance of Fox viewers actually increases the longer they watch the network". The author goves lots of verifiable evidence in the article to support these quotes and that Ailes goal with the network is not to reveal facts but to push right wing and often radical right wing propaganda instead of "fair and balanced" objective news! The sad part of this article is that so few people will read it, and nobody brainwashed by Fox will even know about it. More people listen to Limbaugh and Hannity etc. and watch Fox in 10 minutes of their airtime pimping right wing talking points then read "Rolling Stone" in a year or two.
