These test's are highly misleading it would seem...


I would lean more towards them being a bit easy, especially with them being multiple choice.
Whose side are you on Thadius?



Thadius -> RE: Fox News is the Ministry of Information. (7/26/2008 7:18:58 PM)

That's a loaded question.

The simple answer is I am on my side. [;)]

Thadius -> RE: Fox News is the Ministry of Information. (7/26/2008 7:40:12 PM)

I missed one.. for some reason I just couldn't recall the name of the Fed Chairman... perhaps it was all the years that Greenspan held the office, but for the life of me I couldn't remember the name of his replacement.

Dammit even as i was checking his name,I just knew he had stepped down,and wrote a book to boot....but like I said I've been drinking....really!



Sanity -> RE: Fox News is the Ministry of Information. (7/26/2008 9:09:43 PM)

If you look at the breakdown by gender, women averaged 39% correct while men averaged 56% correct

SO

If the fact that FOX News audience members averaged one percentage point under another network means to you that the FOX News audience is composed of total morons in comparison to that other network .... what do the results say to you about the intelligence of women.

Thank you for boosting up my current affairs morale, Raechard. This is what it said:

"You correctly answered 10 out of the 12 possible questions, which means you did better on the quiz than 83% of the general public."

As an endless source of trivia of all genres, I rock.

How could we not remember a name like Ben Bukkake? [sm=LMAO.gif]

Oh, it's quite obvious that women are silly little things that have no interest in paying any attention to news and current affairs. We have better and bigger things to do, like paint out toenails and wax our muffs.

Let us settle this here and now by taking the what is your news IQ test, see if anyone can beat my 48%[:D]

prock prock prock…

http://pewresearch.org/newsiq/quiz/

edited to add chicken sound effects.


69%

I admit to guessing on 2 questions, I tend to do very well on multiple choice even when the subject isn't one I am solid on.

As a woman who got 91% (I wan't sure if the Dow was above or below 11,500.), I listen to NPR (thanks to Raechard for the link! Fun!!). And I didn't care for the poster who told Aynne to come back when she wan't so angry. Would you have posted the same to any of the male posters here??



Aynne -> RE: Fox News is the Ministry of Information. (7/27/2008 6:30:12 AM)

12 of 12



Aynne -> RE: Fox News is the Ministry of Information. (7/27/2008 6:31:14 AM)

Awwwww...thank you and good morning![:)]

How come that doesn't surprise me Aynne....I am so pleased you are no longer angry...



hlen5 -> RE: Fox News is the Ministry of Information. (7/27/2008 7:14:39 AM)

Hi. How did you found out about the shameful Virgo thing? Have you been watching Pox News again [8D] ?



hlen5 -> RE: Fox News is the Ministry of Information. (7/27/2008 7:36:07 AM)

KittinSol, You mentioned being a (brainiac) Virgo on another thread (maybe gemini Masters??). I hope I didn't freak you out.

Someone on that thread also posted a link to a free astrology chart there. Thanks to that poster!    Helen



hlen5 -> RE: Fox News is the Ministry of Information. (7/27/2008 7:37:55 AM)

The only reason I would have for watching Fox is to know the opposition.



kdsub -> RE: Fox News is the Ministry of Information. (7/27/2008 7:40:07 AM)

I just can’t understand what is so surprising about the viewpoint of Fox news. AND what is wrong with that viewpoint.

Remember 50 percent of America has an opposing viewpoint of many here. Do you think Al Jazeera has a balanced viewpoint…or the New York Times….or  the BBC.

They all have a viewpoint molded by their listeners.

Don’t be afraid of an opposing viewpoint …change it.

subrob1967 -> RE: Fox News is the Ministry of Information. (7/27/2008 7:50:10 AM)

Here's Your Score: You correctly answered 12 of the 12 possible questions along with approximately 3% of the public. You did better than 97% of the general public.

Other than and occasional Click & Clack program, I never listen to NPR, and when I watch the news it's FNC, and thats it.
