Fox News: prise 2

samedi 24 octobre 2009 ·

Vu que mon précédent post sur fox news semble générer un peu de controverse, en voici un plus "rigoureux" pour faire plaisir à ceux qui trouvaient que le précédent ne l'était pas assez (tout en me citant antago, mais oublions le manque de cohérence un moment).

Est-ce que Fox News est impartial? Peut-être, mais alors les résultats de cette étude:

We find a significant effect of the introduction of Fox News on the vote share in Presidential elections between 1996 and 2000. Republicans gained 0.4 to 0.7 percentage points in the towns that broadcast Fox News. Fox News also affected voter turnout and the Republican vote share in the Senate. Our estimates imply that Fox News convinced 3 to 28 percent of its viewers to vote Republican, depending on the audience measure. The Fox News effect could be a temporary learning effect for rational voters, or a permanent effect for nonrational voters subject to persuasion.
Bon, peut-être que l'effet est réellement qu'un effect de temporary learning.

D'autre part, concernant l'argument du "bah fox news est de droite mais les autres sont de gauches et anyway, ils font pas une meilleure job", voici ce que Jonathan S. Morris résume dans son étude:

Compared to the CNN audience, Fox News watchers are less likely to follow stories that are critical of the Bush administration but more likely to follow entertainment-based news stories. The findings also suggest that Fox News watchers enjoy news that shares their personal views, while the CNN and network news audiences prefer news that has more in-depth interviews with public officials. Finally, evidence suggests that the Fox News watchers were more likely than nonwatchers to underestimate rather than overestimate, the number of American casualties in Iraq.
