News sources

The results about Fox News echo findings of previous surveys. In 2003, University of Maryland researchers studied the public’s belief in three false claims — that Iraq possessed WMD, that Iraq was involved in 9/11, and that there was international support for the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
The researchers stated, “The extent of Americans’ misperceptions vary significantly depending on their source of news. Those who receive most of their news from Fox News are more likely than average to have misperceptions.” Fox News viewers were “three times more likely than the next nearest network to hold all three misperceptions.”

Another interesting fact is that in the short time that the English version of Al Jazera has been available it's audiance has grown to about 1/2 that of CNN. But not a single US based cable company is offering it to American viewers. Come on get another point of view folks! Open your mind and do some research then make up your mind and take informed action.
