I do sort of assume that people who get their news from Fox would tend to be misinformed.

How can someone be "misinformed" about their own personal "impressions" and "feelings"?

If everybody doesn't feel the same way about things that you do, then they are, by definition, misinformed?

Your bias has blinded you.

My bias hasn't blinded me: I've said multiple times that these questions have a degree of subjectivity, which obviously makes them poor questions. Especially poor questions, mind you, on which to base any sort of study, even one as unscientific as this.

However, it still has some anecdotal value, and the questions can be distilled to some degree of fact at their basic core. When someone hears the first question, for instance, they hear, "Has the US found WMD in Iraq?"

But anyhow, I agree that these are bad questions, but I also agree that people that watch Fox as a primary news source are basically misinformed; or, at least, are selective in their evalutation of which news they find credible.
