The More you Watch, the Less You Know
Americans who watch Fox Cable News are more likely to hold at least one of three major misconceptions about the Iraq war, according to a major poll done by the Program on International Policy Attitudes of the University of Maryland in College Park, and the polling firm, Knowledge Networks based in Menlo Park, Calif. The misconceptions are that Saddam had anything to do with September 11; that the US has found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; and that the Iraq War was generally supported by other countries besides the US. Some 80% of respondents who said they mainly watched Fox News believed at least one of these three falsehoods. Likewise, 71% of those who mainly got their news from CBS believed at least one. (So much for the big supposed differences between Fox and the "mainstream" "liberal" press). Only 23% of those who said they mainly got their news from National Public Radio and Public Television believed at least one of the three misperceptions. About 47% of those who depended mainly on newspapers did. Of course, it is not just a matter of what the media were reporting. It is also an issue of how the audience responded. My guess is that the audience for NPR and PBS just tends to be highly educated and/or well off, and that what the statistic really tells us is that the US upper middle classes had a good idea of what was going on. http://www.bayarea.com/mld/ mercurynews/news/special_packages/ iraq/6918170.htm. |

And 85% of people that listen to NPR believe that monkey's can fly outta their a&&es at any point. Every news station has an agenda. News is no longer reported, its analyzed and given a spin. News is produced, because produced new means more money.

Oh wait, were you talking about the monkey's flying outta their collective a&&es? |

I like Fox News,if only for the fact that they are confrontational and it makes for entertaining TV. Fox harkens back to Wiliam Randolph Hearst,as oppossed to the other networks which are just softballing the news.be seeing you

Rupert Murdock owns probably 60% of all the media, and all of FOX. He's a media mogal with stock in all the mainstream news networks!
He's Pro rightwing Republican, thinks Ronald Reagan was the greatest President and supported both Bush's. HE provides us what HIS idea of the news is, NEVER the truth! http://www.outfoxed.org/ |

When George “He doesn’t give a dam” sent a reinforced reading party in to Iraq he was responding to intelligent reports from the CIA and about 10 or 12 other countries saying there were weapons of mass destruction there. If George ”He doesn’t give a dam” would have gone in to Iraq when he wanted to he would have found them but if you remember the Demo. In congress push back the invasion given “Them” time to tidy up.
Those of you who only watch the main stream media don’t have an idea of what I’m talking about. |

You know I had drifted away from watching fox news.
Problem is that most of the other tv news services just don't seem to have any real reporters where there is ACTUALLY news happening. So I am back watching fox news (at least they are reporting on it stead of simply blowing kisses at the democrats). Now I watch fox... get an idea of their current slant... and check the full truth on the internet. |
