So Mr. Stewart, I would check this out, then wonder why people don't pay attention to liberal Fox bashers. Don't you think it would have been appropriate to have investigated the actual report rather than bashing innocent people.

Americans Skeptical of Science Behind Global Warming - Rasmussen Reports™

I quote from the above referenced report, "Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Americans say it’s at least somewhat likely that some scientists have falsified research data to support their own theories and beliefs about global warming. Thirty-five percent (35%) say it’s Very Likely. Just 26% say it’s not very or not at all likely that some scientists falsified data."

Did you not see the Jon Stewart on this?

here, it was already posted...Fox & Friends didn't even report Rasmussen polls correctly. I mean come on!


Jon Stewart takes down favorite Fox & Friends for using poll numbers on global warming -- more specifically, "climate gate" -- that added up to 120 percent.

You're kidding with this post, right? Do you know what per cent means?? The numbers in this quote are not possible.

Who's they??

Rasmussen obviously stands behind these numbers - I just checked their website and the OP quote is still there. Guess they don't recognize it as a mistake, which makes me wonder about all of their poll results.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to notice that the numbers don't add up.

You should never believe a single Rasmussen poll. This is just the most obvious example of their shoddy and right wing partisan work.

And the funny thing is, not only does Pox News not get it, the right wingers on here don't get it - even after the math is pointed out to them.

And they wonder why we laugh at them!

Can you do math?? By the way this shouldn't be all that hard to figure out. 59% AT LEAST somewhat likely, doesn't mean 59% somewhat likely. When you have AT least in there it means just that, both somewhat likely and Very likely. So somewhat likely is 24%, very likely 35%, not at all likely 26%. The fact the idiots at Fixed News chose to add them up and insist more than 90% said it was likely when the damn thing says 26% not at all likely shows how retarded they are.
