The art of Fox News Undoing the news:
http://www.addictinginfo.org/?p=1908On Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade claimed, along with an on-screen graphic, that a recent USA Today/Gallup poll found that “61 percent” of Americans are in favor of taking away collective bargaining rights from public unions. In fact, Fox aired the results of the poll completely backward: the Gallup poll found that 61 percent of Americans are opposed to taking away collective bargaining rights.
The real poll:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2011-02-22-poll-public-unions-wisconsin_N.htmAmericans strongly oppose laws taking away the collective bargaining power of public employee unions, according to a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll. The poll found 61% would oppose a law in their state similar to such a proposal in Wisconsin, compared with 33% who would favor such a law.
Herein lies the problem with BizarroAmerika. The idiots who watch Fox news believe it! Of course, since the source is Media Matters, lilMike would say they're liars and the whole thing is fabricated.
