Default Fox Reverses Results Of Gallup Poll To Claim Americans Oppose Union Collective Bargaining Rights

Fox News did it again. They reversed the results of the Gallup poll concerning the public opinion of collective bargaining rights. "Fair and Balanced?" I guess if Fox doesn't like the facts, they just change them for their uniformed viewers!

Quote:
This morning, during a debate about the situation in Wisconsin and collective bargaining rights in general, the Fox News show Fox & Friends referenced the USA Today/Gallup poll. With incredible brazenness, the Fox hosts actually reversed the results of the poll in order to claim that two-thirds of Americans supported Wisconsin-style laws rather than opposed them.

If this is Fox's idea of, "We report, you decide.," it is no wonder how their viewers became so misinformed and have adopted totally erroneous opinions about issues!

Hey! All you Fox News fans! What is your defense of Fox News about this? Another "mistake" of the graphics editors, producers, and talk show hosts?

These people have no shame, moral compass or integrity and I use the term "people" loosely.
