I just scanned this in from Private Eye, so it's not really a news article, but it's a decent parody of recent events.

My favourite bit is where the Fox News audience is the most clueless. Hardly surprising.

TAKE THAT, NEWS BLOGS!

That said, it's not like you could really call those stats definitive, especially if the only questions asked were those shown in the diagram. And the difference between 1989 and 2007 didn't seem quite as drastic as they'd implied. Still, I don't doubt that there's some truth to it.

I mainly get my news from the radio, because I can't be bothered to read the Internet and I barely ever sit down to watch TV (and when I do, I want to be entertained, dammit). The radio is a good news source because it doesn't demand your full attention. It sneaks the news into your brain without you having to taste it. Or a better metaphor.
