Study: No News is Better Than Fox News
A survey by Farleigh Dickinson University asked 1,185 random people about their news consumption and also random questions about domestic and current events like whether Bashar al-Assad was still in power, the American unemployment rate, and which party holds the most seats in the House of Representatives right now. And this is what they found:
The largest effect is that of Fox News: all else being equal, someone who watched only Fox News would be expected to answer just 1.04 domestic questions correctly — a figure which is significantly worse than if they had reported watching no media at all.

Halftime - NaS
Halftime was the debut single by NaS. It is without a doubt one of my favourite songs of all time. I remember the first time I heard it, I was in Tesco (Tottenham High Road represent) listening to Illmatic for the first time on my iPod, and I just stopped in the aisle and listened to the whole track appreciating every line. One of the real triumphs of its genre from arguably the greatest hip hop album ever made.
