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.

LOLs. I just read this survey. It is the most poorly worded survey I have ever seen. Any conclusions from it could not be taken seriously.

WMD's were found in Iraq, (even wikileaks acknowledged such a fact) and what exactly were they misinformed about from the healthcare? Arent you the one who continues to tell us you wont go to jail for not paying the healthcare tax? Spare me the misinformation until you get your own facts straight

I was going to post this the other day. Love to hear what the Fox folks are going to say about this.

Now Rupie owns the Wall Street Journal as well. That rich Aussie sure knows how to play American rubes, I gotta hand it to him and his crew.
Some of those items are subjective, such as "the economy is getting worse."
And this is not a causational survey, btw, it is correlative in that we don't know what other sources these people pay attention to. I could watch O'Reilly every day for humor and watch MSNBC for the rest of the day and still be able to answer that I watch Fox "nearly every day" for the poll.

Not according to the CIA
CIA’s final report: No WMD found in Iraq
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.

So you think:
A) WMD's were found in Iraq.
B) You will "go to jail" if you don't pay a "healthcare tax"?
Okay, I'm gonna guess you are a devoted FOX News watcher.

Well we've got our answer.
One viewer says it the survey is "poorly worded" so that's how he'll rationalize the fact the truth doesn't fit his ideology.
Another poor soul thinks we found some WMD in Iraq that makes the liberal's wrong.....LOL (Two lengthy, costly investigations by the Bush Admin concluded rightly there were no WMD in Iraq)
These people don't have the wiring upstairs to understand, nor admit, how absurd their beliefs are. Self reflection just isn't in the DNA.
