How come Fox News viewers were so ignorant & wrong compared to Americans who got their news from other news sources?

Strange. Must be the OTHER news sources that have it all wrong! Yeah that's it!

1. Fox: hero of the stupid

:dunce:

2. What amazes me is how rightwingnuts keep on letting Faux dupe them.

Anyone can be duped now & then. But most sentient beings don't willingly allow themselves to be constantly duped over & over & over again by the same group.

Even animals learn after a few times of being tricked.

4. Fool me once, shame on . . .

. . . shame on . . . Fool me twice . . . ahh . . . don't get fooled again.

Sorry, any group of people who can listen to the idiot-in-charge's babbling and trust him as their leader--and even re-elect the fucker--well, I think WE sentient beings have to suspend our own disbelief at their stupidity and realize that maybe the hardcore idiots are of a species that is dumber than my dogs! And even they still fall for "pretending to throw the ball" kind of tricks.

Maybe the administration just sees us all as a bunch of unruly pets. I'm sure there are plenty of us they'd like to just put to sleep!

And that's all the well-past-midnight ramblings I've got left in me!

Goodnight all.

9. Some people really want to be plugged into the matrix

and don't care to know that they are being fed a protein paste and told that it's "Tastey Wheat" or prime rib.

3. If the BBC had done it

here in the UK then I'm guessing the number believing there had been WMDs would have been pretty close to nil.

What's a misperception ? Guitar players refering to banjos as weapons on mass ear destruction ?

5. ...with the misleading and outright lies on FAUX. 33% is amazingly LOW.

:D

10. Same figure as bush's approval rating. Ain't that a coinky-dink.

Hmmm.

6. thanks

7. pleasant fictions give order to their world view.

to not believe Iraq had WMD would call into question the very premise of their ideology and world view.

[MiniMe]

8. Perhaps because the RW pundits on Fox keep saying they DID find WMDs

11. Notice NPR/PBS is off the charts

Without doubt the best journalism in the mass market. Despite what some around here say.
