"A Rigorous Scientific Look Into The 'Fox News Effect," Forbes Magazine
The article above confirms the original 2012 study which revealed that people who watch Fox News are less informed than those who get their news from other primary sources.
It is also noteworthy that John Oliver viewers are the best informed of all U.S. demographics, another fact that doesn't surprise me.
Oliver is the most professorial late night television host and he chooses to inform his viewers with facts and contextualization. Here is an archive of Oliver's work: https://newsfrombarbaria.blogspot.com/2020/09/john-oliver-archive-featuring-best.html
Excerpt: "In 2012, a Fairleigh Dickinson University survey reported that Fox News viewers were less informed about current events than people who didn't follow the news at all. The survey had asked current events questions like "Which party has the most seats in the House of Representatives?" and also asked what source of news people followed. The Fox viewers' current events scores were in the basement... Fox News viewers scored the lowest of over 30 popular news sources (though Fox viewers did at least score better than those saying they didn't follow the news). The chart’s horizontal black lines with tick marks indicate the margins of statistical error. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, a news satire, had the best-informed viewers. Stereotypes aside, it's not that Fox News viewers live in a bubble and get all their news from that one source. The average Fox viewer listed 4.5 other source of news they regularly followed. Many also got news from the major broadcast networks, Facebook, and the liberal news channel MSNBC. Nevertheless, those who listed Fox News as one of their news sources had overall lower levels of knowledge on the factual questions. Fox viewers were less likely to know the capital of Canada, the religion of the Dalai Lama, or the size of the Federal budget. They couldn't find South Carolina on map or name the second digit of pi."
