Poll: Bush Lied About Iraq, Has No Right to Attack Iran
By David Swanson, http://www.opednews.com

A new poll conducted in Pennsylvania by Zogby International and commissioned by OpEdNews.com asked some of the questions the corporate media has failed to ask. The answers are surprising. One revelation is this: the single greatest predictor of an American's political views is whether she or he watches Faux News.

1. really? and their ratings have been going down?

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. If this poll doesn't show that Faux

is merely the propaganda arm of the neocons, nothing does.

[Dunvegan]

3. This is why Cheney has "Fox News Must Be Turned On" at every hotel...

...he stays at by contract.

Cheney wants to be "personally certain" that Faux catapults the correct propaganda, or he'll know the reason why (probably in one phone call.)

4. It is interesting that the support for censure is so low. nt

8. Interesting but not surprising

The sheeple are being kept in the dark by the korporate media.

[Miss Chybil]

13. Support for censure is low because it's bullshit. This guy doesn't

need a slap on the wrist, he needs to be run out of town on a rail. Literally. Everybody is just waiting for November. After that, Bush will really know what we think of him and his cabal.

5. "Belief that Bush lied was highest among atheists, at 86.2%."

[Arugula Latte]

10. We are bright, we atheists, if I do say so myself.

We pride ourselves on not getting sucked in by dogma in either political or religious form ...

[enough]

6. Very interesting statistics

snip>

Among those who said that they or a family member was a member of the military, 44.6% said Bush lied. Catholics, Protestants, and Born Agains leaned significantly toward trusting Bush, whereas Jews and atheists decidedly consider him a liar. Belief that Bush lied was highest among atheists, at 86.2%.

Zogby also asked "Do you agree or disagree that the president has the right to use military force against Iran without the support of Congress?"
62.5% disagreed
32.1% agreed

Among those in the armed forces or with military family members 53.8% disagreed, while 40.8% agreed. The only religious group in which a majority believe the president has the right to attack Iran is Born Agains, and only by a margin of 46.8% to 40.9%. Every racial group disagrees.

7. Liar

Well, I'm a Protestant and very active in my church and I KNOW he is a LIAR about everything. Then again I'm a Presbyterian and the Presbyterian church is quite liberal.

9. Interesting! Hope the Dems in DC are paying attention

:)

12. Holy Shit!! That .5% to 99% Number for Fox Is Astonishing!

:wow:

[WiseButAngrySara]

15. Here's a DU thread on it posted earlier. Pretty amazing how FAUX

is so seemingly 'brainwashed.' It reminds me of what I've read about Nazi Germany. Horrifying, really.

14. Not this Protestant!

From link: Among those who said that they or a family member was a member of the military, 44.6% said Bush lied. Catholics, Protestants, and Born Agains leaned significantly toward trusting Bush, whereas Jews and atheists decidedly consider him a liar. Belief that Bush lied was highest among atheists, at 86.2%.

White people also are more likely to trust Bush, whereas all racial minority groups lean toward believing he lied. Hispanics lead the way at 88.2%."

Oh, no They should have polled my state. Still, one has to have their head in the sand to even think of Faux being newsworthy, or anything worthy.

[Itchinjim]

16. Not this Catholic either.

[AuntiBush]

17. You betcha.

They don't speak for us! :hi:

20. Morning kick! Everyone at DU should read about recent Zogby poll

results on Faux news bias. Nothing new to DU, but how do we know that the M$M isn't going to use Faux viewers to slant their poll results to fit their version of 'reality' at some point in the future, if they haven't already done so!
