Not a big fan of Fox News, I do watch Special Report with Bair but that is about it. I get my info from multiple news outlets like CBS & ABC, but never from NBC or CNN. Online sources I usually look at anything from The Weekly Standard, Politico, and TheDrugdereport.com

Such reports are ridiculous on their face. There is no way to determine who is "more informed about current events". The results of the poll will be entirely dependent on the prejudices and biases of the person who designs the poll. The biases of that person will determine what a "correct" answer is.

I'd love to see the actual questions asked. I'm sure they would be questions only devotees of HuffPo and Politico could answer.

I could just as easily construct a poll that would show those who don't watch insert news least favorite news outlet here are, in fact, the least informed persons.

Such polls are meaningless on their own, though they are very telling simply by virtue of whose attention they manage to attract.

Drudge is hardly ever a source- just an aggregator. Some of the places he links are factually suspect ( ex Breitbart) but at least he is giving the sources credit rather than stealing content.

Actually they are more factually based then you think; they seem to be ahead of the game with their sources because there is a lot content on there that they are reporting about 24/48 hrs before anyone else, and the majority ends up being fact based and confirmed.
