Misperceptions, the Media and the Iraq War

An article has been written by the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA)about "Misperceptions, The Media and The Iraq War." It has been showed 3 misperceptions about the Iraq War. We are going to examinate what have said American Medias about these 3 points. They are :

· Iraq was directly involved in the September 11 attacks : a link between Al-Qaeda and Iraq has been established.
· Iraq was using weapons of mass destruction during the war.
· World public opinion has approved that US go to war in Iraq.

We can see on this document that the misperceptions are significantly showed differently between medias. Fox news give more misperceptions, and people who watch NPR or PBS has less manipulated.

One more thing : People who want to vote for Bush follow medias. And at the same support the Iraq war. And at the opposite, people for a Democratic nominee are not looking very much to the television.
It shows that the medias vehiculate a good image of Bush and the Iraq war...
