Is it any wonder Republicans deny climate science when Fox reports are only accurate 28% of the time?

You can't speak intelligently on an issue if your sources lie to you most of the time, which is why I refuse to watch or listen to partisan media.

But at least Fox is improving over their 7% accuracy in 2012.

Here come the deniers to prove my point.....

    The main point that you're making is false, and easily proven to be false. Take a look at Fox News' ratings, and then take a look at how many Republicans there are in the country. Actually, if you were capable or even willing to do this you would have done so already, so here are some numbers and their sources for you.

    Even in its position as the #1 rated news show on television, their audience is between 1 - 2 million viewers in any given time slot.

    In the last election, Mitt Romney gained a little over 60 million votes, presumably representative of the entire Republican voting public.

    So maybe you can explain your belief that somehow a station with under 2 million viewers in any given time slot can completely influence the beliefs of 60 million people?

    Of course the answer is that they don't - that the entire premise is preposterous. For the life of me, I can't understand why you and so many others are so obsessed with this idea.

    I don't buy left or right wing media either. That's why I'm not buying an idiot box and don't go to any American media outlet's website for information.

    The media is a blend of truth and filler material to keep viewers hooked. It's basically like taco bell. Garbage disguised as what it says it is.

    I am not a Republican and have never seen FOX news, (don't own a TV), but I can tell you there is very little "science" in what is published about climate science, The facts and trends are totally watered down by the time it is politically twisted. If it does exist in fact, ( and I am not denying it), the facts are not out there,

    I hate to repeat myself so I'll ask a 2nd time....

    Do you honestly believe CNN and MSNBC tell the truth 100% of the time?

    If you do, you're delusional.

    Okay. My source says liberals are always wrong. 100% of the time.

    You are either really ignorant or a purposeful propagandist.
