This is because the mainstream media has deliberately blurred the line between facts and opinions.

[Red Badger]

The education of people has done this................

[heterosupremacist]

Nine-in-10 Democrats correctly incorrectly identified the statement “President Barack Obama was born in the United States” as factual, while only 63 percent of Republicans saw it as factual. PUHLEEZE!!

Not being able to tell fact from fiction is one of the many serious, debilitating symptoms of the chronic, no-cure mental disease known “liberalism”.

If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.

What is that factual, or opinion?

Democrats say factual, Republicans opinion. And the Pew research people said the Republicans were wrong

[cranked]

O’Rly!?

Did this really require or take a Pew research to conclude something that is generations old? =.=

[Rocky]

Is that a fact, or just their opinion?

[LeoWindhorse]

Yep , dumb as bags of rocks , and they all have 1st Amendment rights

[Truthoverpower]

There are never facts
Only opinions

[Drango]

one with a left-leaning audience (The New York Times),

Wow! PEW correctly labels the NYTimes as left leaning. My beeper is stunned,

[Raycpa]

The entire premise of this study is false and contradicts the whole need for a jury. In a trail, juries are finders of facts. They weigh evidence presented to them and use that evidence to decide what facts are.

Apply this to the BC issue. Evidence is presented to various people and based on each person’s weighing of the evidence the person comes to a conclusion if they accept the evidence or reject the evidence. If I were to reject the evidence presented that Obama published BC were legit doesn’t mean that I have rejected a fact nor does it mean that my rejection is an opinion.

These factoids need some Preparation F.

Lousy survey question. Some informed people still debate this. I'm not so sure myself.

We don't actually know if that is fact or not. Thus the poll was flawed in my opinion.

[Ann de IL]

This says more about Pew not being able to tell fact from opinion as the two examples in the excerpt prove. I didn’t read any more than that because the excerpt was such as insult to intelligence and logic.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That would be because fakestream presstitutes present opinion as fact.

[CodeToad]

You should see it in college. Ya keep reminding students that Wikipedia isn’t a reference.

[treetopsandroofs]

Ah yes, this again, the reason this was surveyed and published:

Nine-in-10 Democrats correctly identified the statement “President Barack Obama was born in the United States” as factual, while only 63 percent of Republicans saw it as factual.

[lightman]

That has to be true: I read it on the INTERNET!

Libs claim there is no objective truth. We see the results.
