Survey says, stop watching cable news

The good folks at Poynter flag this Public Mind poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University, which finds that those who listen exclusively to NPR are the most-well informed on current events, while those who only watch Fox News are the least informed. In fact, those who have no news intake at all are better informed than those who only watch Fox News. Surprise, surprise. (Send hate mail to dbyers@politico.com)

But the more interesting finding, as far as I'm concerned, is this: People who only watch a Sunday morning news show are likely to be better informed than people who only watch CNN, MSNBC, or Fox News, and better informed than those who only watch "The Daily Show" or only listen to talk radio.

In other words, if you're the kind of person who gets home every night and turns on cable news, then sleeps in on Sunday, you're doing it wrong. That is, if you watch cable news to be informed.

(In the study, 1,185 respondents nationwide were asked about what news sources they consumed in the past week and then were asked a variety of questions about current political and economic events in the U.S. and abroad to test their knowledge.)

JESUS says "WATCH"

Mr 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Mt 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things,
know that it is near, even at the doors.

Re 3:3 If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief,
and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

1Co 16:13 Watch ye, be strong.

Col 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch.

1Th 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch.

In terms of funds for ads Walker has his opposition beat 25 to 1

In the end will truth win out or low information voters and more money win out?

don't you think paying the goons to storm the capital is a better use of your money?

[The Barbarian]

The fact that Walker and the Koch brothers consider taxpayers to be "goons" who should not be allowed into the capitol, is very telling. They'd like them to pay up and shut up and to watch FOX. They like the peasants ignorant.

David Stockman: On the other hand, I don’t think Mitt Romney can legitimately say that he learned anything about how to create jobs in the LBO business. The LBO business is about how to strip cash out of old, long-in-the-tooth companies and how to make short-term profits.
[Then all the Fox commentators freak out and start talking over him]

[Finally one asks a "question" that is actually a pro-Romney line]: But he had so many new jobs created for all the jobs that were lost, it was a net gain, no?

David Stockman: I don’t think so. All the jobs that he talks about came from Staples. That was a very early venture stage deal that they got out of long before it got to its current size.

The term LBO means Leveraged Buy Out.

Romney stripped companies of cash to make his fortune and the workers be damned was his life-time philosophy. He was not in the business of creating jobs; he was in the business of looting companies to enrich himself.
