The "god-forsaken liberal democrat media" that you mention has a lot more republicans on than Fox has democrats. Google Fox Viewers Misinformed to see the results of a study that says Fox viewers are not very bright (to put it kindly).

I guess it all depends on who you listen to on Fox. I think your "not very bright" comment shows little class. Nowhere in any of the articles that I read did they say that.
They said misinformed.
I did google what you said and most if not all where "pile on" left wing sites that were all too happy to get a study like this but wait......

So we have three Pew studies that superficially rank Fox viewers low on the well-informed list, but in several of the surveys, Fox isn’t the lowest, and other general-interest media outlets -- such as network news shows, network morning shows and even the other cable news networks -- often score similarly low. Meanwhile, particular Fox shows -- such as The O’Reilly Factor and Sean Hannity’s show -- actually score consistently well, occasionally even outpacing Stewart’s own audience.
Meanwhile, the other set of knowledge surveys, from worldpublicopinion.org, offer mixed support for Stewart. The 2003 survey strikes us as pretty solid, but the 2010 survey has been critiqued for its methodology.
The way Stewart phrased the comment, it’s not enough to show a sliver of evidence that Fox News’ audience is ill-informed. The evidence needs to support the view that the data shows they are "consistently" misinformed -- a term he used not once but three times. It’s simply not true that "every poll" shows that result. So we rate his claim False.

Not so black and white as you would like to believe.
