https://web.archive.org/web/20110611...-Iraq-War.aspx The short article is a good read, but here are a few excerpts: "The study found three widespread misperceptions: "49 percent believed that the United States had found evidence that Iraq was working closely with al-Qaeda; "22 percent believed that actual weapons of mass destruction had been found in Iraq; "23 percent believed that world public opinion favored the United States going to war with Iraq. Overall, 60 percent of those we polled had at least one of these three misperceptions." "As shown below, the percentage that had at least one of these misperceptions ranged from 23 percent among those who primarily got their news from National Public Radio (NPR) or PBS to 80 percent among those who primarily got their news from Fox News." "However, there is also evidence that news outlets—some more than others—have allowed themselves to be passive transmitters of such messages." Again, it's a short article but well worth the read.
