First off, very small sample size, particularly for those identifying with an exclusive news source. The error was so large as to be inestimable, but >3.5% margin of error in either case.

Of course, the article is in the Los Angeles Times, a newspaper that rarely misses an opportunity to target conservatives in any guise.

Later in the article, MSNBC viewers and other cable news viewers are called out for their ignorance, "And it seems Jon Stewart may be more reliable than cable news anchors. On Occupy Wall Street, the survey found viewers of "The Daily Show" were 12 percentage points more likely to say protesters were predominantly Democratic. MSNBC viewers were the most likely to say the protesters were mainly Republicans."

Why doesn't the headline read that MSNBC viewers are morons? Couldn't have anything to do with the common idealogy (read: liberalism) shared by these the LA Times and it, could there? Nah...it's gotta be that Fox News viewers = morons.

Yellow biased muck raking journalism writ large.

It's been a long time since I read good journalism. They are essentially now paid shills. Really not worth listening to.

I am very likely the only person in my entire building at work today.  All of the salaried employees get a 4 day weekend.  I'm just an hourly contractor, so I'm lucky that my boss let me work 4 x 10 hour days this week so my paycheck won't be short.  [:D]

I drink tea... [8D]


Leo "Apollo11"

Leo, the only coffee we have at work is a massive 100 cup industrial brewer, and I'm the only one here today, so it's empty. We do have teabags provided, which I occasionally enjoy, but today I'm drinking tea exclusively. Image

Nothing wrong with that. It's good for you and tastes better than coffee [:D]
