Don't feel bad.

Rhodes Scholar Rachel Maddow doesn't know a fake website when she sees one either...

The average adult IQ is supposed to be 100. Fox owns the news ratings, and yet you claim the average IQ of a Fox viewer is 80. A little algebra and I compute that the average liberal IQ is 163. All them brains and you still haven't figured out how to balance a budget, get out of the ghetto, end racism, or more importantly, discern fake data from fact.

Liberals do make the best baristas, though. The hip gals at Peet's that brew up my coffee do a better job than an old, rich, white guy could ever do...

The ones who think they are so smart got us into this mess. And of course the dems think all is fine with the country and we are headed in the right direction.. the housing bubble and the stock market bubble are a figment of everyones imagination and is no big deal as the liberal media keeps telling the so called smart dems.. what a laugh.

The dems so little character and swelled heads they can't find an answer to our countries problems. Come on dems.. where is all that brain power? Obama keeps kicking the can down the road so the younger generations will all be poor and Obama keeps his smile on his face. Oh , how the dems can paint a pretty picture and our country is is big trouble.

Let's see . . how did Morning Joe, staunch Republican put it today . . . something about how the right wing 'entertainment industry' and the anti-intellectualism of the Republican party for the past 15 years is destroying the party.

Yeah. That's pretty much what he said. Even other Republicans notice it. Fox News is dumbing down your party.

Bummer.

Have no fear though. They will stop watching Fox when they get close to being as dumb as the Democrats.

In my town, $50/month plan does not even include HD Fox News. So many people skip it.
However, the $50 plan does include HD CNN, NBC, etc

"Status quo"?

"Always in flux"?

No.

Not really.

What you believe are new and promising idealogical inventions are really failed and discarded experiments from the past that you don't know about.

Nice.

Don't shoot the messenger. I like Morning Joe; he is a Republican and that is exactly what he said. He doesn't like what folks like Hannity, Rush, and Coulter are doing for his party. Losing them elections.

Third: MSNBC viewers scored very low as well.

Fourth, the organization which conducted the study has not released the methodology by which the questions asked were chosen.

So essentially what we have is a biased study with shaky methodology showing that people who follow hard to a party line on both sides of the isle believe media rhetoric more than actual analytical fact. Right? You believe this and your party are the 'smart ones'? Padcrasher - believing every headline you see without researching where it came from is what makes someone less intelligent. You see the irony here, don't you?


Great post, and great analogy. Any one person who feels that they belong to the more smart Party, are acutally dumber then they think. Real ingorant and dumb.

Both party's have much fault, and both party's come flawed? Both party's lie, and have their own agendas, usually for their own sake, not for the sake truly of the people.

I am now at the point i don't believe anything, unless i know for fact, it is fact, or i have witnessed what i am questioning. And yes i will research, for the right answers, may have to with this also.
Problem one party believes all the lies and rhetoric, and they think they don't have problems!

And you are really dumb if you actually believe that Joe is a republican.. ha ha... ever hear of a double agent? Joe is a plant to make people think he is a republican.. anyone who has a brain can figure that one out.
