bushwacked Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Include voting in this as well. Why not pass a common knowledge test, or you should turn in your voter registration card? http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/pdf...n_Dec10_rpt.pdf Those who watched Fox News almost daily were significantly more likely than those who never watched it to believe that most economists estimate the stimulus caused job losses (12 points more likely), most economists have estimated the health care law will worsen the deficit (31 points), the economy is getting worse (26 points), most scientists do not agree that climate change is occurring (30 points), the stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts (14 points), their own income taxes have gone up (14 points), the auto bailout only occurred under Obama (13 points), when TARP came up for a vote most Republicans opposed it (12 points) and that it is not clear that Obama was born in the United States (31 points). The effect was also not simply a function of partisan bias, as people who voted Democratic and watched Fox News were also more likely to have such misinformation than those who did not watch it--though by a lesser margin than those who voted Republican. Let's root out the misinformed idiots first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
