Who was worst? My guess? People who watch Chris Matthews. "A perfect score was obtained by 44 percent of regular listeners of National Public Radio (NPR), 43 percent of regular viewers of MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews" and 42 percent of the Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" audience."

For Pew to report this is a major miracle. Did the earths magnetic poles reverse?I've heard them report this a few years ago....don't expect any earthquakes. They really could give a sh*t about the facts. Liberals are always much more concerned about other more important things, like how they are feeling at the time, rather than facts.

nuh uh! Wall Street Journal Report watchers are the most informed!

To: Presbyterian Reporter
"Keep in mind the National Enquirer just ran its piece on Obama and paedophile Frank Marshall Davis." And there has been ZERO comment on it. It's like it didn't happen, at least inside the beltway.
Nat'l Enq has a huge circulation read by highly impressionable individuals.

On two questions that asked respondents to identify the majority party in the U.S. House of Representatives (Democrats) and to identify the current U.S. secretary of state (Condoleezza Rice), "Hannity & Colmes" viewers scored 84% and 73% respectively. Among Rush Limbaugh listeners, the scores were 83% and 71%. What a crying shame that the percentages of correct answers on those two simple questions are so low! That information should be common knowledge even among the ill-informed. Knowing it is certainly nothing about which to pat oneself on the back. No wonder the likes of Barack Obama can get this close to the Presidency with smooth talk and empty rhetoric.

This site is my primary source of info To be honest with you, I think this site is Rush's main source of material. His job has gotten a LOT easier with the rise of this site, and he cites a lot of stuff that I only hear on FR.

To: Hardastarboard
We send stuff to Rush as soon as we get it. We also link him to pertinent essays and blog materials. But do realize that Rush really works hard in his show prep. He loves this nation and is dedicated to more than just building his wealth. The e-mail Rush gets would freeze some servers! And you know why Rush works so hard at his task?... Because he knows that millions listen daily, while working to keep this nation running. For many, Rush’s truth stream is the only source they trust in order to fulfill their sovereign responsibilities. Yeah, it’s that important, and to Rush, too.

“If Obama gets elected, these are the two he will go after first while he moves to shut down the internet. COUNT ON IT!”
Yep. The other night when BOR said he has no problem with Obama right now Laura Ingraham blew a fuse. She flat out told him if bambi wins they will come for his microphone. I was glad someone finally had the balls to say it out loud on national television. I have never been so scared for our country.

Did you hear what Laura said right at the end of that exchange with BOR? She said they would have to pry the mic out of her "cold dead hands"!

All well and good, but if you were to ask the same adults “Which administration did Helen Thomas first whine about in her career?” you could pick most of us here at FR out by those that responded with “Abraham Lincoln”. :)
