Americans Suck at News IQ Quiz
The Pew Research Center recently did a survey on News IQ and let's just say that the American public didn't do so well.
12 out of 12 correct answers puts you in the 97th percentile. Honestly, I happened to guess correctly on a couple of them. But it's multiple choice; it shouldn't be that difficult.
What's screwed up is that the question answered most correctly (by quite a bit) is about Barack Obama's most famous campaigner.
How'd you do?

Not surprising we suck. But I got 11/12, so yay me for not sucking.
Ooh, I love quizes!
10 of 12 for me (I missed the dow jones and serbia questions dang it!) so yay me for not totally sucking either!
I, on the other hand, do suck. Guess I haven't been listening to enough Wait, Wait (my primary source of news). Shame prevents me from publicly admitting my score. So, Erica how did you do?
12/12, of course!
