--Fox News fiddles with climate change polling
The republican mind only trusts FOXNews.
We need more unskewed polls like this that ..... add up to 120%!?!
LOL
A Saudi prince is the second largest shareholder of Fox News.
Faux News has been basically lying about the science and pushing a pro-fossil fuel, anti-AGW agenda.
But Fox Has Continued Its Annual Snow Job. A Media Matters compilation video shows that every winter since at least 2007, Fox has used snow to cast doubt on climate change:
Immediately after An Inconvenient Truth premiered, Fox News hosted Sterling Burnett, a fellow at the ExxonMobil funded National Center for Policy Analysis, who said of the movie, "why go see propaganda? You don't go see Joseph Goebbels' films to see the truth about Nazi Germany. You don't go see Al Gore's films to see the truth about global warming." [Think Progress, 5/23/06] [The New York Times, 5/23/06]
In a 2012 analysis, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) found that 93 percent of Fox News' representations of climate science from February to July 2012 were misleading, and "The most common form of criticism regarding climate science was to broadly dismiss the scientific consensus that climate change is occurring or human-induced." UCS recommended:
To improve the accuracy of climate science coverage, News Corp. can help staff better differentiate between scientific and policy claims on climate change. It is always misleading to reject the overwhelming scientific evidence that human-caused climate change is occurring, but can be entirely appropriate to criticize specific policies aimed at addressing climate change. [Union of Concerned Scientists, 9/20/12]
Study Found 60 Percent Of Regular Fox Viewers Are Misinformed About Scientific Consensus. A study from the University of Maryland examined variations in misinformation by exposure to news sources and found that Fox News viewers were "significantly more likely" to be misinformed about the scientific consensus on climate change. Of those who said they watched Fox News "almost every day," 60 percent believed that "most scientists think climate change is not occurring" or that "views are divided evenly." By contrast, only 25 percent of CNN viewers, 20 percent of MSNBC viewers, and 35 percent of broadcast news viewers held that misconception.
