Thanks to Chris, Rachel, Chuck Todd and Lawrence!

Yep. That was my score. - Avoid Fox like the plague.

I think the breakdown of the results question-by-question illustrated the point beautifully. I didn't realize the GM bailout was part of Ws TARP, though I doubt the amount he allocated would have produced the same results. Maybe if the Foxbots were made aware, they would stop going ballistic every time GMs success is brought up and would stop ragging on the Volt.

11/11 Correct - Rachel M. watcher - Conservatives think they are trick questions

Bet their heads will blow up! Ha! Ha!

Way to go. - RMs fund of knowledge is awesome.

She's doing a comprehensive review of all the GOP legislative attacks on repro rights as we speak. Sometimes she packs so much info into her reports, I have to take notes. I doubt many Fox fans would get past the first page of the quiz after reading the overall survey results in the intro.

Rachel and Maher - fan

What if you watch Fox, CNN, and MSNBC? - Zville MT

I got all the questions right, but some of them were based on opinion and not fact and I answered the way I figured a liberal would, not based on what I thought. I think all news media has a bias (whether they admit it or not). Anyone who gets all thier information from one source, no matter what it is, is not getting the whole picture. More people need to do thier own research from independent sites and materials.

This was kinda interesting though - especially the question about the GM bailout. It was interesting to see the percentage of people that thought that was only Obama's baby.

Watching all 3 networks - opinion

I would say you need to get off the couch and maybe sweep your walk? Spring is here. Sunshine and lollipops.

Zville's walkway - goldie

That was actually a pretty funny response - sweep the walk? I'm sure Ms. Zville unhooks her ball and chain from the PC and gets out the front door once in a while. In fact, she may even be planning her summer garden as I type this. No offense, Ms. Zville, I love your posts.

Actually, I'm like Ms. Zville and watch all 3 networks at times, although less so now that hockey playoffs are on.

I missed one question. I think it was the one about Obama and Afghanistan troops (I thought he reduced the number of troops). See? I was trying to give Obama some credit and I end up get the answer wrong!

The worse part about the quiz - and I'm shocked it hasn't been mentioned yet - was that Glenn Beck's face wouldn't go away! It was on my screen before and after every question!

OMG! That was hilarious! - Zville MT

[ In Reply To ..]
You must be a comedian! If not, I don't know why you're wasting your time with MT!

Scored 11/11 - Avid Fox viewer and proud of it

Considering the nature of the questions - the survey's telling outcome and

the preponderance of falsehoods and Fox-orchestrated misinformation that shows up on this forum on a daily basis, this is a dubious and highly suspect claim.

Lucky me, I have developed palpitations and a crazy, irratic heartbeat from menopause (I am assuming.)

Some of the things he does makes a lot of people wonder if he's really a Christian. Really - I thought everyone argued against separation of church and state; IOW, NO PRAYER in school is allowed, yet this was allowed. Why? Are the Muslims exempt from following that law?

the power of secular fundamentalism appears to be on the rise and in which religious freedom seems to be imperiled, it is easy for Christians to become despondent.

In such gloomy times the example of the martyrs can be encouraging. Those who laid down their lives for Christ and His Church in worse times than ours are bea ...
