The Dept. Of Defense and the Director of National Intelligence, including the Central Intelligence Agency, The Secretary's of Defense and State, the President, Vice President, and almost every Republican in Congress and the Senate, CONFIRMED by their votes in authorization for war and proven by their press statements regarding Saddam Hussein, all said that Saddam was either working on, or possessed, WMD.
I said they were all full of it. I was right. You should listen to me and not to propaganda. By now all the offices listed have little credibility, and as the occupations continue, all of their credibility continues to be eroded even further.
Soon the mainstream media could even take on more of the propaganda pushed onto the American public like FOX News currently produces. One must be able to read between the lines in respect to a media that is increasingly controlled by fewer and fewer people.
News flash.. the reports that WMD's came out in 2006.. Have anything a little more current? Again, whats your security clearance ranking that you think you have more information than the UN, the Department of Defense, or the Director of National Intelligence...
this data coincides with results of previous surveys finding that Fox News viewers are more misinformed about public policy issues. An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll out last year found that Fox News viewers were overwhelmingly misinformed about health care reform proposals. A 2008 Pew study ranked Fox News last in the number of “high knowledge” viewers and a 2007 Pew poll ranked Fox viewers as the least knowledgable about national and international affairs. And a 2003 study from the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland found that Fox News viewers were most likely to believe that Saddam Hussien had links to Al-Qaeda, that coalition troops found WMD in Iraq, and that world public opinion supported President Bush’s decision to invade Iraq.
"WPO said that voter misinformation contained beliefs about current issues such as TARP, the Recovery Act, health care reform, the economy, and climate change that were “at odds with the conclusions of government agencies, generally regarded as non-partisan, consisting of professional economists and scientists.”
So?
The government gets to decide what is or is not true?

ThinkProgress and that idiot from MSNBC in one link. I didn't bother to read your link when I saw Think Progress. That bunch just happens to be one of the Soros group like Media Matters that is supposed to destroy Fox by any means possible
Not surprising, fox caters to the ignorant. The fools eat it up and never question it's factual integrity.
I am an ignorant because I listen to Fox all day? Is that right? OK, how much do you listen to them? I know where you get your information about what they say and it isn't from them.
WASHINGTON — In his final word, the CIA’s top weapons inspector in Iraq said Monday that the hunt for weapons of mass destruction has “gone as far as feasible” and has found nothing, closing an investigation into the purported programs of Saddam Hussein that were used to justify the 2003 invasion.

Actually, WPO (the sourae of the survey) is funded by the Tides Foundation.

Am I correct in discerning from your post that you are defending a news organization? Is there something in it for you? Wouldn't the truth be a better recipient of your support?
I want the truth. Just gimme some truth. Fox News of fers so little in between its cheesy fillers that an intelligent person, one who is seeking out the truth, should look elsewhere. In my search for the truth, I've come across perhaps a hundred items showing where Fox has distorted the news. When I read that they added applause for the candidates and issues they supported into their presentation of the Presidential debates, I knew it was important to avoid Fox at all costs. Even if that decision keeps some tidbits of truth from me, I'm willing to take that risk.
