Don't watch Fox News. The more you watch, the more you'll get things wrong.
Researchers from the Program on International Policy Attitudes (a joint project of several academic centers, some of them based at the University of Maryland) and Knowledge Networks, a California-based polling firm, discovered that:
48 percent of Americans believed that the United States had uncovered evidence demonstrating a close working relationship between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda.
22 percent thought that we had found the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
25 percent said that most people in other countries had backed the U.S. war against Saddam Hussein.
The researchers then asked where the respondents most commonly went to get their news. The survey concluded that " Fox was the news source whose viewers had the most misperceptions."
