The
New York Times reports:
According to the study, which can be reviewed online,
in most cases, the more a person watched and read the news, the less
likely they were to have been misled about the facts. But “there were
however a number of cases where greater exposure to a news source
increased misinformation on a specific issue,” the study’s authors
wrote. In particular, they found that regular viewers of the Fox News
Channel, which tilts to the right in prime time, were significantly more
likely to believe untruths about the Democratic health care overhaul,
climate change and other subjects.
As per the department's moto,
Timendi causa est nescire.
