Not shocking is it?\u00a0 No.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if they do, but if I said so, I doubt anyone would be surprised.\u00a0 Therefore, we shouldn\u2019t be surprised that an organization made up primarily of professors and academics who tack far to the left, in a university that, like most universities, tacks far to the\u00a0left,\u00a0has done an official study<\/a> and concluded that \u2013 hold your breath \u2013 Fox News viewers are the least informed viewers<\/a> out of some pool of viewers. <\/p>\n
