Grab a brain jackie and stop making it so easy for your detractors. What Johnny has said is perfectly valid and will NOT earn any kind of rebuke from the mods.
Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, conducted a survey of American voters that shows that Fox News viewers are significantly more misinformed than consumers of news from other sources. What’s more, the study shows that greater exposure to Fox News increases misinformation.
Y.J. It was you who admonished me for mentioning poor spelling- you said only "little people" were bothered by it.:smile:
You've chided me for not spelling your name correctly.
Are you really this obtuse or is all an act to get attention.....or both?
If you want to get a time out YJ, keep it up.
I've been there.
He uses spelling and grammar mistakes of others all the time. He even feels superior enough to discount anything somebody says, if there is but a single improperly spelled word, or mistakes in verb tense, or punctuation. Curious, considering he admits he makes those same mistakes, and doesn't always catch them. Here's just the top samples from a forum search.:

I usually don't make a big issue about spelling errors, but how can anyone who brags about being "SUPERIOR" and says 'libel' when she means "LIABLE" and says 'rhelm' when she means "REALM", be taken seriously?
Superior, or otherwise?
And then a week ago there's this one:Superior, or otherwise?

Fox makes people stupid? Good God, people who watch Fox for news accuracy are already
stupid, for watching Fox. The good thing about Fox is that, they never let the truth get in the
way of a good story. Much of what Fox spins as truth is known to be false yet people keep on
debating it. I don't regard anything they say as fact, and then there are the other outlets that in
fact spin the news from their own point of view.
NBC is a another prime example, not to mention all the other networks that have become an
entertainment outlet rather than an information center. The latest testament to how accurate
they are, all announcers are standing up as if that makes a difference. Instead of cosmetic
changes, I would like to see them checking the facts.
Fox does not make you stupid, believing what you say could make you appear stupid. Any
information in and of itself hurts no one, believing in and acting on information that is wrong
or dishonest is another matter.

I'm not sure that the study confirms that Fox News makes you stupid, it might rather be taken to mean that people of that sort prefer Fox.
Never could figure that one out, Wolfe beat the sh*t out of Montcalm back in 1759.
