PEW: Daily Show audience most knowledgeable
Public Knowledge of Current Affairs Little Changed by News and Information Revolutions
What Americans Know: 1989-2007

Released: April 15, 2007





There are substantial differences in the knowledge levels of the audiences for different news outlets. However, there is no clear connection between news formats and what audiences know. Well-informed audiences come from cable (Daily Show/Colbert Report, O'Reilly Factor), the internet (especially major newspaper websites), broadcast TV (NewsHour with Jim Lehrer) and radio (NPR, Rush Limbaugh's program). The less informed audiences also frequent a mix of formats: broadcast television (network morning news shows, local news), cable (Fox News Channel), and the internet (online blogs where people discuss news events).

2. The people who watch Fox news and listen to Rush
are the most ignorant people I know. Something wrong with this poll.
