And here's one more: ------- The Fox News Network is a disgrace to televison news, for it is a pulpit for conservative propagand. Here is the evidence: THE PIPA REPORT: 216.109.117.135/search/ca...Report.pdf -This is document is from www.pipa.org which is a renowned and respected polling group. This shows Fox News� conservative bias. Other details to the report can be found by clicking on the long link above. The report is dated October 2003. WEAPON�S OF MASS DESTRUCTION Question: Since the war with Iraq has ended, is it your impression that the US has or has not found Iraqi weapons of mass destruction? Fox: 33% of viewers thought the US had found WMD�s. CBS: 23% of viewers thought the US had found WMD�s. NBC: 20% of viewers thought the US had found WMD�s. CNN: 20% of viewers thought the US had found WMD�s. ABC: 19% of viewers thought the US had found WMD�s. PBS-NPR: 11% of viewers thought the US had found WMD�s. (NOTE: At this time (October 2003), WMD�s were NOT found in Iraq.) SADDAM�S LINK WITH AL QAEDA Question: Is it your impression that the US has or has not found clear evidence in Iraq that Saddam Hussein was working closely with the Al Qaeda terrorist organization? Fox: 67% of viewers thought the US had found clear evidence. CBS: 56% of viewers thought the US had found clear evidence. NBC: 49% of viewers thought the US had found clear evidence. CNN: 48% of viewers thought the US had found clear evidence. ABC: 45% of viewers thought the US had found clear evidence. PBS-NPR: 16% of viewers thought the US had found clear evidence. (NOTE: At this time (October 2003), there was no clear evidence linking Al Qaeda with Saddam Hussein. The president finally confessed to this shortly after this study was conducted.) FREQUECNY OF MISPERCEPTIONS (Evidence of al-Qaeda Links, WMD Found, World Public Opinion Favorable) Respondents with ONE or MORE misperceptions: Fox: 80% of viewers CBS: 71% of viewers ABC: 61% of viewers NBC: 55% of viewers CNN: 55% of viewers PBS-NPR: 23% of viewers OVERALL AVERAGE News Source Average Rate Of Misperception Fox 45% CBS 36% CNN 31% ABC 30% NBC 30% PBS-NPR 11% It seems that amongst Fox News Viewers there have been many misconceptions, and these misconceptions are slanted towards a conservative bias. Therefore, one can deduce that Fox News is not just conservatively biased but unreliable as well.
