"It proves that what we're doing is great journalism," says NPR spokeswoman Laura Gross. "We're telling the truth and we let our audience decide." THANKS for another LAUGH for Today!

Good catch! ON the right! Starting, actually, with the "16 words in the SOTU" scandal, right on up through the traitorious Joe Wilson lie,(I believe Mewzilla has nailed it when she says Wilsons wife was the BBC's source) Rush, and finally the DNC engineered smear of Arnold by proxy through the equally traitorious LA Times..

They must've reversed the categories.

The survey asked if folks believed that Saddam was linked with al Qaeda, not that Saddam was tied to 9-11. Two very different animals. Wrong.
From the article: "Saddam Hussein has been directly linked with the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks."

Interesting group of negative posts you have regarding conservatives and positive regarding Democrats... I have never posted anything positive about Democrats.

Iraq had WMDs From the survey: "Weapons of mass destruction have already been found in Iraq."

From the article: "Saddam Hussein has been directly linked with the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks."I read the original survey when it came out - the article misrepresents the question about Saddam and al Qaeda.
You really should do more than just read the article and accept what is being spoon-fed to you. After awhile, you end up reading the papers to see how they are spinning the news, not to get the news.

I read the original survey when it came out - the article misrepresents the question about Saddam and al Qaeda. I would like to read the question. Do you have a link or source?
To: GoGophers
Here's an
article about this survey from yesterday:
Based on several nationwide surveys it conducted with California-based Knowledge Networks since June, as well as the results of other polls, PIPA found that 48 percent of the public believe US troops found evidence of close pre-war links between Iraq and the al-Qaeda terrorist group; 22 percent thought troops found weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq; and 25 percent believed that world public opinion favored Washington's going to war with Iraq. All three are misperceptions.
Funny, I don't see 9-11 in there anywhere. But, then again, you're probably one of those people who believe that Bush claimed the threat from Saddam was imminent (a lie misconception that Bob Edwards of NPR has repeated on-air). So much for NPR's reputation as promulgated by this push poll masquerading as a neutral survey.

Arguing that the entire Democratic Party is not guilty of treason is hardly a defense of the Democratic Party.
To: mhking
Each was questioned about whether he held any of the following three beliefs, characterized by the center as "egregious misperceptions": By whom??
Terry, Nancy, or Hillary?

When will they survey for these egregious misconceptions? They don't have to. They already know everything they need to know, and are quite comfortable with their perception of the world and all it's wonders:
The PIPA study suggests a strong link between people's understanding of the news and its source. That link held true throughout different demographic segments, such as those based on education level, viewing habits, and partisan leanings, Ramsay said. "It proves that what we're doing is great journalism," says NPR spokeswoman Laura Gross. "We're telling the truth and we let our audience decide."
If they get any more facts, it might confuse them.
To: mhking
... In contrast, 80 percent of Fox News viewers held at least one of the three incorrect beliefs... Cut and pasted from the article, was this an inadvertent or intentional choice of words?
In any case, it's a naked revelation of the liberal mindset and what they intend for us.
