It sure was not required in the choosing of moderators.
If so, then the Republican candidates were trying to attract Demoncrats supporters?
Says a network who’s broadcast is design for a fourth grade education.
Them Republicans don’t talk good like me and you. Their vocabulistics is all real limited.
The reversal of good with evil was a requirement for the lame moderators.
Democrats have to speak at a 4th grade level for their voters to understand them.
When speaking to a general audience a mid-7th grade to lower 9th grade lexel is just about right if you want to capture the attention of most of the audience.
Of course they are going to double down. And, their counterparts in competing media will also rise to defend CNBC. Why? Because their million dollar salaries depend upon that. Also, those in competing media outlets might, at some point, be needing a job at CNBC. How would it look if they didn’t defend CNBC?
According to the Dilbert Blog, using that 4th grade speaking level is the mark of a Master Wizard in persuasion technique. Maybe it goes to the lizard part of the brain, I dunno....
What was the grade level of the RAT debate?
The Daily Caller applied the same test to the moderators speech from the debate and they scored at exactly the same level as Trump.
I have to agree. The moderators did sound quite juvenile.
If a successful neurosurgeon tests out at the ninth grade level, your test needs tweaking. Spoken language is always simpler than written, though. And complex language can easily go over the heads of publicly educated voters.
DUmb asses. Effectively communicating is much more important than spewing multi-syllable words to impress the voters.
Does anyone honestly believe you can get to the level of business and/or government without some level of higher education (Cynthia McKenney notwithstanding...)? Their ability to speak plainly and not above their audience is an asset, not a hindrance.
So, I guess I should send these Hemingway books to the children’s side of the library.
Which is better? “The geostrategic position of our French allies has deteriorated significantly,” or “The news from France is bad.”
The latter is a quote from Winston Churchill.
Just more feed for the liberal “REPUBLICANS ARE STOOPID!!” memes...
“You aren’t DUMB like those Republicans, are you, Mr. low-Info Voter?
This has been out for a day or two. Has anyone done what CNN should have if they want to go there and done the same analysis on the Dems? I bet it’s quite similar. And even f the Dems DO try to sound smart by using big words, and end up with a higher verbal grade level, what good is it if everything they say is either a lie, or a fallacy?
