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.
In which case Jon Stewart was happy to clarify and correct his statement on the Daily Show on Tuesday night.
Stewart pointed out that FOX News (home of the 2009 and 2010 PolitiFact.com Lies of the Year) might have a few corrections they would want to make as well. Jon Stewart can apologize and correct his misstatements, but FOX? Good luck.
Who has more credibility, the comedian or the network full of jokes?
