There are some things that everyone knows but many refuse to admit. Then there are the cretins that have a critical gene missing that would allow them to absorb truth.

Fox doesn’t just make the occasional error. Their coverage on every subject, even those that might be considered non-political, is riddled with what might be generously characterized as “facts” created from whole cloth.

Fox News viewers are much more likely than others to believe false information about American politics, a new study concludes.

The study, conducted by the University of Maryland, judged how likely consumers of various news outlets and publications were to believe misinformation about a wide range of political issues.

Overall, 90% of respondents said they felt they had heard false information being given to them during the 2010 election campaign. However, while consumers of just about every news outlet believed some information that was false, the study found that Fox News viewers, regardless of political information, were “significantly more likely” to believe the following false information:

–Most economists estimate the stimulus caused job losses (12 points more likely)

–Most economists have estimated the health care law will worsen the deficit (31 points)

–The economy is getting worse (26 points)

–Most scientists do not agree that climate change is occurring (30 points)

–The stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts (14 points)

–Their own income taxes have gone up (14 points)

–The auto bailout only occurred under Obama (13 points)

–When TARP came up for a vote most Republicans opposed it (12 points)

–And that it is not clear that Obama was born in the United States (31 points)

In addition, the study said, the greater amount of time spent watching Fox News, the greater the percentage of believing these false stories.

In other words, it isn’t necessary to read or watch the real news to actually know more about what is really happening. To stop looking so foolish, just stop watching Faux News.

Why is it that these people can’t understand that, if their positions on issues depend entirely on lies, it could be a hint that they should change their positions?

You knew it was coming. Perhaps you didn’t expect it this soon but it’s here.

A corporation is running for Congress.

It’s happening in the 1^st Congressional District of Maryland. That’s Silver Spring, MD.

I have included the first campaign ad. Also, you will find the web site. You won’t even have to make a donation.

Here you can see the new uniform requirements for Congressmen who are not themselves corporations.

If you look closely, you may see that the Nascar driver on the left may be practicing to actually run for Congress. Just check out his middle finger.

Here is the campaign ad for your viewing pleasure.
