Exactly! I always remember that study on people's understanding of current events based on the media they consume.
People that didn't watch any news were more informed than people that watched fox/nbc on current events or international issues , whereas people that watched the daily show or npr were more informed. That and seeing people ridicule Michael Moore over and over despite him always being right (afaik) have been big eye-openers in terms of who to believe. It's wild they keep putting people on TV that are regularly wrong.
Ok... had to go find it: What you know depends on what you watch. It's from 2012 but still seems legit.
