Interesting, isn't it? I think it was a brilliant way to get people to really look at the document and what it says. It is so easy to read just the first few lines if you are looking at the entire document and not really think about what it says or why. This proved how many Americans haven't looked deeper.
On a related note, the Cap Times in Madison ran a similar experiment at the height of McCarthyism in 1951. One of the reporters there created a petition that consisted of the DOI, the Bill of Rights, and the 15th amendment. Out of 112 people he asked to sign the "petition", 1 signed. Others called him a commie or were too afraid of repercussions to sign. A parallel to our own times perhaps?
Um. NPR tweeted the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.
They have been reciting the Declaration of Independence on their station for something like 19 years. Fake News! Liberal bias!
