Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The extraordinary growth of the audience for Fox News Channel, together with its marked conservative bias, patriotism, and unabashed support for the Iraq War led us to examine whether those who indicated they were primarily dependent upon Fox News for news of the Iraq War would show more support for Bush, for the war itself, interest in the war, and optimism about its final outcome. We looked at these attitudes comparing Fox News dependents to those who used the other 24/7 cable channels. Even after controlling for demographics, including party affiliation, Fox News dependents matched Fox News content significantly more than those who watched other cable channels. The research is framed within cognitive consistency theory modified to consider the link between news medium and viewer.
