Interesting study of cable news when it comes to how they report on climate change. I can't say I'm surprised by the results. FOX probably registers inaccurate no matter what the topic is.
The results:
MSNBC accurate 92% of the time
CNN accurate 70% of the time
FOX accurate 28% of the time

To gauge how accurately these networks inform their audiences about climate change, UCS analyzed the networks' climate science coverage in 2013 and found that each network treated climate science very differently.
Fox News was the least accurate; 72 percent of its 2013 climate science-related segments contained misleading statements. CNN was in the middle, with about a third of segments featuring misleading statements. MSNBC was the most accurate, with only eight percent of segments containing misleading statements.
