"Misperceptions, the Media and the Iraq War," published by the Program on International Policy Attitudes in October 2003, explored the relationship between Americans' primary news source and their susceptibility to misperceptions about the war in Iraq.37 Specifically, besides reporting their primary source of news, a representative sample was asked if Iraq-al Qaeda links had been found, if weapons of mass destruction had been found, and if world public opinion favored the war. This table shows counts consistent with the reported frequency of each of the primary news sources, and how many of those respondents harbored at least one major misperception about the war.
