If you watch Fox News, the answer is yes. In 2013, just 28% of Fox News segments on climate science were entirely accurate—up from 2012, when when just 7% were accurate. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, "Fox hosts and guests were more likely than those of other networks to disparage the study of climate science and criticize scientists."
