What do you know?

Click here for a very interesting video. Could you be one of these? What's the media's motivation? Money? Whose? Power? At whose expense? Prestige? While this is going on, who is reporting the news, the honest to goodness news...that which is actually occuring.

For an interesting study of what Americans don't know, go here. You can find out more about this study here at the source or here in an article from CNS News.

  1. I saw that video a few days ago and thought it was funny (funny interesting, not funny haha). The guy who did it challenged anyone to fund a poll using the same questions but asking McCain voters and pretty much guaranteed that McCain voters were more knowledgeable (i.e. less duped by the MSM). Someone actually said they would fund the second poll, but the pollster who did the initial poll backed out. Not sure why. Too bad, it would have been an interesting comparison.
    Anyway, I took the 33 question quiz you referenced and got 30 right. Does that qualify me to be POTUS?
