You answered 13 of 13 questions correctly.

...And my wife STILL questions me why I get my news from FR.

Same here with 11 0f 13.

Got the stock curve wrong, thought it made me suspicious due to the 2008-2013 dates. Suspected it was a way to slip in an inference that Zero was good for the market.

Well, she asked me to look at her laptop to see if I could find out why it was not responding to some website. I started by deleting all the cookies and noticed she had been on FR several times the past few weeks.

Does that make me a bad person?.... Yes. It does. Report to the incinerator after you log your vote for Obama.

11 of 13. Had no clue on the woman or google glass. That shows how much I care what happens at google and yahoo.

I only got one wrong too, the one about the Dow. I’m not too smart with stocks and those types of charts and I couldn’t remember if we had gained it all back from the 2008 drop.

Well, I was 11 of 13 also - missed % of women in congress & dow jones average. Not bad but could have been better.

I missed the CEO of yahoo and guessed that horrid state senator in TX because I’d never seen either of their pictures. I knew the other 2 weren’t

Exactly the same score for exactly the same reason and ditto about Nigeria. Now if I could just get Nigerians to quit sending those emails ...

Wow, 12 out of 13. I missed the one about the Dow Jones.

That was a difficult question. I had to study it for awhile.

The only question that I missed was the Yahoo! CEO.

What Do You Know About The News?
I know that it's twisted, distorted, manipulated, selectively dosed out, poor quality leftist propaganda.

That is not on the test so that takes 10 points away!
