Poll shows errors in beliefs on Iraq, 9/11
http://www.charlotte.com/mld/observer/news/6086632.htm?template=contentModules/printstory.jsp
A third of the American public believes U.S. forces found weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq, according to a recent poll, and 22 percent said Iraq
actually used chemical or biological weapons.
But no such weapons have been found, nor is there evidence they were used
recently in Iraq.
Before the war, half of those polled in a survey said Iraqis were among the
19 hijackers on Sept. 11, 2001. But most of them were from Saudi Arabia. None
were Iraqis.
How could so many people be so wrong about information that has dominated the
news for nearly two years?

“Given the intensive news coverage and high levels of public attention,” he
said, “this level of misinformation suggests some Americans may be avoiding
having an experience of cognitive dissonance.”
That is, having their beliefs conflict with the facts.

What? You didn’t know this to be true?
With all the ‘mis’information pervading the media from the supposed ‘liberal’

Discernment is gone by way of the Do-do.
