According to a new Fairleigh Dickinson University study, people who watch Fox News are less likely to know about important news events than people who do not watch news at all.
In one instance, the study found that Fox News watchers were 18 percent less likely to know that Egyptians overthrew their government than those who watch no news at all.
By contrast, the most informed Americans were those who watched Sunday morning news programs and, to a lesser extent, read national newspapers and listened to NPR.
