Outfoxed

Yet another “study” made the rounds a few weeks ago claiming that Fox News viewers are less well-informed than the average news consumer.

These things have been going around and around – and getting debunked – for so long, it’s hard to even pay attention anymore.   There will, inevitably, be a savage debunking.  It never fails.

And so there is; the “study”, accepted as gospel by everyone from your slack-jawed corner leftyblogger to the HuffPo to the NYTimes (pardon the redundancy) isn’t worth the electrons it was printed on.  The study:

  • Didn’t test what it claimed,
  • The data collected supported opposite conclusions than what was claimed,
  • The “study” contained a trick question
  • It contained baseless conclusions.
  • It presented highly disputed conclusions as fact – and, in the bargain, it presented policy points from left-of-center groups as the “Truth”, differing from which meant that one was “misinformed”.

In short, the “study” was no more valid than, say, a Humphrey Institute poll.  Oh, yeah – and it’s funded by George Soros.

The whole debunk is on video here.

Watch it, and remember – if more than one liberal group claims something to be a fact, 99% of the time it is a lie.

  1. The last time I watched CNN (willingly) was just before Halloween. One infobabe told another “Halloween is the perfect conservative holiday. It teaches kids how to get the most for the least amount of work.”

    The sparrows outside my window are more intelligent than the average CNN “reporter”.

  2. George Soros spends millions propping up his sock puppets. He spends millions buying elections for leftist craphandlers, or paying the tab for stealing them when he can’t buy them outright.

    In short, George Soros uses the wealth he accumulated through cashing in on financial hardships to spread misery and failure from coast to coast.

    Question.

    Does George Soros have any redeeming factors?

    Does he donate any of his cash to genuinely altruistic, humanitarian causes? Does he feed any of the kids his political machinations have doomed to lives of illiteracy and struggle? Does he build houses for people that his leftist ilk have led down the gilded path of dependency?

    Does George Soros do anything to repay humanity for the people he traded to the Nazi’s in exchange for his own life?

    Or is he nothing more than the festering boil on humanities ass he appears to be?

    Please FACTCHECK, Mitch, and get back to us.

  3. If you want a FACTCHECK on Scary Dude, consult Glenn Beck. He’s been profiling this scumbag for many months.

  4. if more than one liberal group claims something to be a fact, 99% of the time it is a lie.

    Ditto conservatives.

    “Halloween is the perfect conservative holiday. It teaches kids how to get the most for the least amount of work.”

    You’re saying this is wrong? You do more work than is necessary to get the best result?

    consult Glenn Beck.

    If Glenn Beck claims something to be true, 99.99999999999999999999999% of the time it is a lie.

  5. Ditto conservatives.

    Nope.

    You’re saying this is wrong? You do more work than is necessary to get the best result?

    The context was pretty clearly freeloading.

    If Glenn Beck claims something to be true, 99.99999999999999999999999% of the time it is a lie.

    Nope.

  6. If Glenn Beck claims something to be true, 99.99999999999999999999999% of the time it is a lie.

    If a liberal slams Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin or Rush, then it’s a 100% chance they are infected with B/P/R DS. Exaggeration of decimal places carves it in stone.

    Just because you don’t agree with something doesn’t make it a lie.

  7. If Glenn Beck claims someone said something and then broadcasts videotape evidence of them saying it, 99.99999999999999999999999% of the time some liberal twit will claim it is a lie.
    They can’t help it. They’ve never actually, you know, done FACTCHECKING.

  8. Just because you don’t agree with something doesn’t make it a lie.

    True. Also, just because you agree with something doesn’t make it true.

    If a liberal slams Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin or Rush, then it’s a 100% chance they are infected with B/P/R DS.

    Yes. Beck, Palin and Rush have never been wrong or stretched the truth ever. Everything they say is 100% fact and can’t be refudiated.

  9. Hey Stoo, being in the Christmas spirit I invite you to provide a verifiable, documented instance to back up your slur that
    “If Glenn Beck claims something to be true, 99.99999999999999999999999% of the time it is a lie.” Give us one. Huffpo and DKos rants don’t count. That’s where the “verifiable” part comes in.

    Show us what you’ve got.

  10. Oh, you know evidence isn’t accepted here. It’s called “worshiping science.” I thought it was OK to just make stuff up!

    Straw man? Hey, I didn’t say 100% of criticism of the Holy Trinity is based on derangement.

  11. “Facts” are the last refuge of a scoundrel.
    At least where leftists are concerned. Is it a “fact” that Kermit spent Monday night at home watching “Dancing With the Stars”? Almost certainly. Is it a fact that global warming is true? Well, thats a very debatable point. You have to define all your terms first.
    This is the establishment fighting to keep their position at the helm of social policy. It is like the old guard in the 50’s and 60’s telling people concerned with the civil rights of homosexuals “The DSM says that homosexuality is a mental illness. Argument? There is no argument. Didn’t you hear me say the DSM says homosexuality is mental illness? You think you are smarter than all the PhD’s and physicians who wrote it?
    Now sit down and shut up.”

  12. “Facts” are the last refuge of a scoundrel.
    That’s where the “verifiable” part comes in.

  13. When it comes to lying, I think we need to defer to trained experts.

    You were saying, stool?….
