Old News on US Media - Still Relevant Today

It's old, but this study (original press release) is priceless to understand how the American public can be spinned by Fox and right-wing medias. It basically says that Fox viewers were mislead into supporting the war in Iraq.

For each of the three misperceptions, the study found enormous differences
between the viewers of Fox, who held the most misperceptions, and NPR/PBS, who
held the fewest by far. Eighty percent of Fox viewers were found to hold at
least one misperception, compared to 23 percent of NPR/PBS consumers.
How you can still believe your own spin after having to lie so much to promote it - it beats me.
