New Study Shows that FOX Viewers are the Most Misinformed!

A group of researchers in the Program on International Policy Attitudes concluded that people who say they watch FOX News for their daily dose of information are strongly misinformed. What’s more, the study shows that greater exposure to FOX News increases misinformation. Check the numbers from the survey after the jump!!!

This is a list of what FOX News viewers believe to be true:

* 91 percent believe the stimulus legislation lost jobs
* 72 percent believe the health reform law will increase the deficit
* 72 percent believe the economy is getting worse
* 60 percent believe climate change is not occurring
* 49 percent believe income taxes have gone up
* 63 percent believe the stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts
* 56 percent believe Obama initiated the GM/Chrysler bailout
* 38 percent believe that most Republicans opposed TARP
* 63 percent believe Obama was not born in the U.S. (or that it is unclear)

Wow!!!!
