Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
While munching on a bowl of breakfast cereal followed a link to Pew Research from Marketwatch for a ridiculous sounding headline of "We have no idea how government spends its money, Eight in 10 Americans can't name the biggest target of federal expenditures. Can you?"
The link The News IQ Quiz | Pew Research Center hooked me up with the 12 question survey "The News IQ Quiz"; so I figured game on - I do not subscribe to any printed or online news sources, just what I can point and click to for free. Rarely watch broadcast news, no pay TV, just OTA. Absolutely amazed me that I ended up as being a 1%'er in that I got 12 for 12. Or should I say I'm amazed how 99% could be so far off on news that is pretty easy to follow, at least in my perspective. I'll bet the majority here will also be in the minority of astute news hounds.
+1 It is appalling to me that close to half of respondents had 4 or less correct responses (out of 12 questions)!!! And only 1/3 of respondents got more than have of the questions right. I do watch broadcast news and suspect much of the 12/12 I got was from doing that (Thank you Scott Pelley and team)
