The minds behind Fox & Friends may be less bright than they appear.

As you can see from the image above, an on-screen graphic shown on Fox News noted that 94% of respondents believed that scientists faked their climate data, while 26% did not.

Media Matters explains:

Fox News‘ graphics department added together the ‘very likely’ and ‘somewhat likely’ numbers to reach 59 percent, and called that new group ‘somewhat likely,'” noted Simon Maloy. “Then, for some reason, they threw in the 35 percent ‘very likely’ as their own group, even though they already added that number to the ‘somewhat likely’ percentage. Then they mashed together the ‘not very likely’ and ‘not likely at all’ groups, and threw the 15 percent who were unsure into the waste bin. Voila — 120 percent.
