A more pertinent question is who is most susceptible to being misinformed. The jury is in on that question. I'll go a step further and state that those who watch both CNN and MSNBC, me, watch Fox News for it's entertainment value.

Fox and Friends, to me, is Two Ted Baxters with a blonde in the middle.

Your demographic of 'more informed', consisting of any Fox News viewers, is imaginary.

If you have one person who watches MSNBC, CNN and FOX and another who watches MSNBC and CNN--who has a broader view of the controversial positions of the day?

Who?

Who is more informed?

How Many Cable News Viewers Actually Take a Balanced Approach to Viewership?

https://www.inscape.tv/resources/how-many-cable-news-viewers-actually-take-a-balanced-approach-to-viewership

First, a note about methodology: You have to do more than just flip past a station with your remote to count as a “crossover viewer” in Inscape’s system. For the data below, the minimum threshold was set to two minutes. Some key insights:

---- CNN viewers are mostly likely to at least briefly tune into both of the other networks, with 35% of them watching both Fox News and MSNBC.

---- 37% of Fox News viewers at least briefly tuned in to CNN, but only 23% also checked out MSNBC.

---- The highest crossover was between MSNBC viewers and CNN (59%). And 37% of MSNBC watchers also checked out Fox News.

When it comes to viewer location, there are hotbeds of CNN viewership on both the East and West Coasts, while there’s particularly significant tune-in for Fox News in the Florida panhandle. As for MSNBC, the Palm Springs, Calif. DMA sticks out in particular. (On the heatmaps below, the darker the color in the graphic, the more households were tuning in.)

Any thoughts why the creator of Fox would not listen to the messages from Fox.
