Test your awareness of current events and compare against national polling data

[HangnJudge]

Step right up, get yer Cewpie Doll

[saganite]

11 of 13 right. I missed the population pyramid question and the one asking who the woman pictured was.

[Diogenesis]

Does the MSM lie?

Do they lie every day?

Do they even tell the truth about the ... weather?

Does the MSM coverup fraud for the corrupt regime?

[G Larry]

The map on same sex marriage didn’t include Colorado, which does allow.

PEW is WRONG.

[Gay State Conservative]

I missed percentage of women in Congress and the president of Yahoo.Scored better than 91% of respondents.I wonder how the typical ObamaPhone owner would score!

[Paisan]

11 out of 13.

I’m so ashamed...

[Baynative]

Gay marriage threw me because of Iowa, I didn't expect that.

I also blew it on Nigerian population by age and the blondie from Yahoo.

[HangnJudge]

the one asking who the woman pictured was.

Yeah, I didn't know that one either

[Izzy Dunne]

So.. I missed #12: who is this lady?

I don't watch TeeVee news, so I picked the wrong answer.

Does that make me a bad person?

[ColdOne]

I am surprised only 1 wrong.

[TheRhinelander]

Same here.

[cripplecreek]

I got 1,5, and 8 wrong but scored better than 85% of quiz takers.

[chiller]

The population pyramid was a guess, but I seem to remember euthanasia is popular in the Netherlands.

[barmag25]

You scored better than 96% of the public, below 1% and the same as 3%.

[moovova]

I scored “present”.

[Viennacon]

12 out of 13. I thought Iowa only allowed civil unions. Disgraceful that they caved.

[D_Idaho]

91% Where’s my prize?

[HangnJudge]

Gay marriage threw me because of Iowa, I didn't expect that.

I missed that, precisely for the same reason

[CharlesWayneCT]

I got 11 out of 13 write. Since I read the news, I don’t watch it, I was not able to identify who the people were in the two pictures they showed.

I don’t feel bad about that — being able to identify who people are by their pictures is not critical to being able to understand the news.

In the two cases where they showed pictures BUT you didn’t need to recognize the people to answer the question, I could identify all 8 people in those questions by their picture alone.

[Starboard]

What is patently clear is that the MSM has an agenda to “shape” the news to fit the liberal world view.

The MSM is also corrupt in that there is a quid pro quo with the administration for favorable coverage.
