Besides the somewhat snarky tone, I'm not sure "reality" is the issue here--as it is a slippery beast, open to interpretation. But whether or not viewers are getting accurate facts is. I've read the same polls, and it does appear Fox viewers are more misinformed than most.

What nobody has mentioned is whether or not this is an issue for the FCC. Do people who use the public airwaves have a responsibility to present accurate information to the public? I think they do. Or they should have to clearly represent it as opinion as newspapers do. Or lose their license. Same goes for radio. This has really just gone far enough.
