Of course they don't tell you what the questions were. My complaint with our fifth estate is not what they report but rather what they don't report and consider not news. If it were not for Fox would be discussing the McAdams and Abate story at all?

Ummm, yeah, they tell you exactly what the questions were.

Is it ironic that the Fox News defenders here are the same people who haven't bothered to even look at the study before criticizing it?

According to a segment on Special Report with Bret Baier.  The editor of The Weekly Standard called Marquette University the loser of the week for suspending a professor critical of a teaching assistant's decision to not allow discussion of gay marriage in her philosophy class because it may be perceived as homophobic.  This has been discussed ad nauseum but it is interesting to see that this story is now getting national attention.

I like the Steven Colbert line - "Coming up tonight, find out which brand of peanut butter that Brett Baier eats to give him that permanent scowel."

so let me get this straight, they poll 612 new jersey people and that qualifies as a cross section or sufficient amount of data to draw the conclusion they are looking for?  i'm surprised they even published that as a story rather than under comedy.  if you look at a map of red states/blue states, you'll see why this "study"  doesn't pass my smell test

not to mention that all 600 some respondents were from joysee?  no wonder they knew little to nothing about current events  except maybe how many guys slept with snooki over the past week or so

Another person who didn't bother to read the second study.

Superbar rule: no politics.
I can see why.  This is nauseating on both sides.
