Shocking Things Fox News Viewers Believe

[BFT3K]

For years the left-wing has been saying that Fox News viewers are ?uneducated? or ?misinformed?, but now a study has come out that might confirm those suspicions.

According to a new survey of Fox News viewers by Reuters, this is what Fox News viewers believe:

67% Believe Barack Obama?s name sounds suspicious.

45% Believe that homosexuals are polygamists

2% Believe that science is more important than faith

15% Believe that George Washington defeated the King of England in a duel for America.

88% Believe that Bill Clinton failed as a President, because of his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

23% Believe FEMA is building concentration camps.

63% Believe Glenn Beck is a healthy weight

37% Believe Nancy Pelosi is a witch, and that she can cast spells.

25% Believe Anthony Weiner?s resignation was good for the economy.

74% Believe that unemployment is higher now than it was during the Great Depression.

92% Couldn?t find Iraq on a map.

12% Believe John Quincy Adams was a Founding Father.

99% Believe that the Government doesn?t create jobs, but 95% of those surveyed credit Governor Rick Perry (R-TX) with creating 1 million jobs as Governor of Texas.

While some of these might seem comical, the most shocking result from the study was this:

100% of Fox News viewers said they wouldn?t care if the entire country fell apart as long as Barack Obama isn?t elected to a second term.

I'm sure that those numbers would be similar to everybody in America overall.... and you could come up with culturally equal results all over the planet. Sad but true. They try to make it about fox news to fit their agenda, but meanwhile.... It's everywhere.

Yeah. It's the same across all of America.
That has to be true, else it would sure look bad for Fox News. The logic is flawless.

Not gonna let you guys off that easy. America was smart enough NOT to elect Sarah Palin as Vice President, whereas Republicans were more then happy to support her, and still are. Pretty stupid

[blackmonsters]

15% Believe that George Washington defeated the King of England in a duel for America.

[blackwater]

Still trying to work out if the stats are a joke.

My post was sarcasm though.

I think supporters of the fox fake news network 24 hour entertainment for dummies show will twist any fact that comes along because all of their views are foregone conclusions. They believe what you tell them to believe.

For example, even after 12 years of the Bush tax cuts that supposed to help corps create jobs, there's still no fucking jobs, but they believe that cutting corp and high income earners will somehow create a job someday. They actually believe it because they're simply dumb and have no capacity to grow a new thought on their own. Being smart is being "elite" and is to be shunned. So they're told, so they believe.

Anyway, dont get me started.

It must really piss you off when you think about the fact that 100% of those folks have the right to vote and certainly won't vote for Obama. And at the same time,many states are requiring voters to show some form of ID which will absolutely cut into Obama's base.

Anyway, dont get me started.

Don't worry political discussions aren't productive in my opinion and my political opinions change so it's all good from me. I'm socially very liberal and fiscally conservative / borderline independent. Also politics are just one very small part of the whole, of most people

70% Believe Barack Obama was born in Kenya

38% Believe Barack Obama was born in Indonesia

108%? Hmmm....

[MediaGuy]

I'm sure that those numbers would be similar to everybody in America overall.... and you could come up with culturally equal results all over the planet. Sad but true. They try to make it about fox news to fit their agenda, but meanwhile.... It's everywhere..

If it's a survey of Fox news viewers then "they" can't be making it fit any agenda when it comes to these:

90% Believe that all of the Founding Fathers were born in the United States of America, even though it had not yet been created when the Founding Fathers were born.

99% of Fox News viewers who were Medicare recipients said they opposed ?socialized medicine.?

94% Believe Reagan lowered the National Debt.

85% Don?t think Hawaii was even a state when Barack Obama was born

92% Believe that Bill Clinton left Barack Obama with a surplus, which he spent.

96% Believe the economy was doing great when Barack Obama took office.

94% Believe the Constitution mentions Jesus Christ as America?s savior.

92% Couldn?t find Iraq on a map.

No damn way the WHOLE country or any-way-you-slice demographic could have numbers like those.

I watch Fox sometimes. It frustrates, annoys the hell out of me - but their outright lying or twisting of reality is what just makes me turn it off.

I think one of the survey qualifying questions should have been (and maybe it was but I didn't check the link) "How much of your News do you get from Fox" or some variation to find out if this is their only information outlet or network watched for info.

:d

[Joxxy]

What's the sample size of the survey? Does the sample size constitute the total makeup of Fox News viewers?

[nation-x]

To be fair... I don't think most people can name "7" continents because we were mostly all taught 5.

Africa, America, Antarctica, Eurasia and Australia
