FOX News does it again! They dumbed down the public during the lead up and through the Iraq war, now they're dumbing down the rest of their viewers about health care reform. I would think Fox viewers would get embarrassed about being the dumbest Americans and quit watching them. I guess that's part of their dumbness though.

The health insurance companies have a lot to be proud of. They've managed to mislead a lot of Americans with their Rent-A-Republicans.

Here’s another way to look at the misinformation: In our poll, 72% of self-identified FOX News viewers believe the health-care plan will give coverage to illegal immigrants, 79% of them say it will lead to a government takeover, 69% think that it will use taxpayer dollars to pay for abortions, and 75% believe that it will allow the government to make decisions about when to stop providing care for the elderly. But it would be incorrect to suggest that this is ONLY coming from conservative viewers who tune in to FOX. In fact, 41% of CNN/MSNBC viewers believe the misinformation about illegal immigrants, 39% believe the government takeover stuff, 40% believe the abortion misperception, and 30% believe the stuff about pulling the plug on grandma. What’s more, a good chunk of folks who get their news from broadcast TV (NBC, ABC, CBS) believe these things, too.
