Funny. I watch Fox. I believe none of those.

Nothing particularly funny about it that I can see. All it found is that the news source whose viewers had the most of those misconceptions was Fox. It didn't say that 100% of those who watch Fox believe the un-facts. "Eighty percent of Fox viewers believed at least one of these un-facts; 45 percent believed all three," it said.

AND I can recall no instance when anything remotely implying any of it has been said on their news programs.

I guess that by nothing "remotely implying" any of the un-facts "on their news programs" you're excluding commentary and opinion programs. If you just mean news programs per se, I'm sure you're right, that they never announced, "Breaking news! Osama and Saddam seen working together, video after the break, followed by WMD photos plus expressions of gratitude for the overwhelming support for our invasion of Iraq by our traditional allies!"

About Jessica's story -- I suspect that situation will end up being that the firefight story with Jessica shooting her gun was bs (everyone acknowledges this), that the capture and treatment by the military itself was bad, but once she was taken to the hospital, she was treated kindly and got as good medical care as could be given under the circumstances. I also suspect the portrayal of a "daring and dangerous" rescue involving a dramatic shootout necessary to free her from the armed enemy was a sham.
