Nice logic: Fox News use poor reasoning and logical fallacies but it's all okay since someone else disagrees with the study. Please do read what I wrote about the study.
You do know that free speech doesn't mean freedom from criticism right? Just like Fox news has the freedom to speech, so do people who disagree with it.
Ironic considering so many on the left are trying to shut up conservatives simply because they disagree with them.
No, the study listed statements such as "Must economists believe the stimulus saved or created millions of job" as being correct answers. Except that those "answers" are in extreme debate. If that many jobs were saved or created, why do we still have over 9% unemployment? People are supposed to question the data the government presents, yet it's the government's position that is always treated as correct in this study. Therefore, the conclusions of the data are patently misleading and slanderous.
Just because I'm on a roll, the next question on their report (
Clicky) gives a correct answer of the health care law will not increase deficits. However, many rational people realize that 10 years of taxes are used to pay for 6 years of spending, which means that although the first 10 years of the budget projection may be balanced, the next years won't be.
The next question was worded as a completely opinion-based question, but it was given a correct answer. After the downturn of the economy in 2008, is the economy now improving (correct) or getting worse? Although economists say the recession is technically over, main street still feels that it's getting worse because jobs are still being lost or not gained quickly enough (wait, isn't this want Obama says all the time: that main street isn't feeling the improvements in the economy?). So if main street doesn't feel the technical definition of the improvement, why would they answer the "correct" answer?
Most did answer that most scientists believe climate change is occurring and that Bush signed TARP. The question about the GM bailout is entirely misleading. They claim the actions started in December of 2008, but even if that's the case, it was completely clear that Bush had already allowed Obama to take the lead in shaping economic policies to get his administrated started early while Bush kept the reins on the international policies.
I do now see 1 one answer in that the stimulus bill did including some tax cuts even though the majority said none were included. There are some more questions that I don't feel like diving into, but as you can see, roughly half of the data of the study can be directly called into question.
are you seriously going to argue that the mastermind of the New World Order has never paid someone to kill a person? influenced a leader to a single military attack? Never ran into someone he couldn't buy off? really?
