Dem lawmakers say Fox News is unbalanced
It gets worse:
"...Two-thirds of Fox viewers, for example, wrongly believed that a link
between Iraq and al-Qaida had been found, while only 16 percent of PBS/NPR
viewers and listeners and 40 percent of print-media readers shared the same
misperception..."
I guess they've never read this article
"In addition, 33 percent of Fox viewers believed that weapons of mass destruction had been found in Iraq, in contrast with 11 percent of PBS/NPR viewers and 19 percent of ABC News viewers."
As usual, the key to the whole piece is at the end:
"Both polls are featured in the recent documentary "Outfoxed," also referred to in the letter, which delivers a highly critical analysis of Fox's alleged political bias and agenda-pushing techniques. It has been widely dismissed by Fox News.
The documentary, sponsored by the Center for American Progress, a think tank headed by former Clinton Chief of Staff John Podesta, and MoveOn.org, an online advocacy group, has sold 100,000 copies since its DVD release two weeks ago. "
