a recent Pew study found that people that watch fox news know more about the news than those who listened to npr. hmmm, amazing that we needed a study to prove that those who watched a news channel, knew more about the news, than those that listened to npr whose aim is to provide a wide array of intellectual stories. amazing.
also, in the news culture of today, i am confused as to why it has become the mark of the intelligent, a mark of being "in the know" for those who know about the news. so what if you watch cnn, go to cnn.com, listen to npr on your way home, and read newsweek in the bathroom. how does that make you a more informed person and someone better to tackle the world? i don't think that knowledge of the news is what makes a person informed and smarter person, it is action and independent thought. not what some news agency tells you to know.
