Report: 80% of Fox News viewers complete dumbasses

Perhaps Fox News Channel viewers are taking the network’s motto, “We report, you decide,” a bit too seriously. More so than viewers of any other network, those who get their news from FNC are deciding wrong, believing untrue things about the war in Iraq.

Almost half think that Iraq and Al Qaeda have been linked, a quarter think that world opinion favored the war, and 23 percent think that weapons of mass destruction have been uncovered, according to a new study. None of those statements about the war is true.

While you can’t exactly blame Fox News for its viewers’ beliefs, you probably can blame the network for not presenting a more accurate picture of the war.
