P. Nichols concludes that he wasn't shocked by the studies' results, rather how dramatic their range. "Several previous studies show that self-identified conservatives are less intelligent than self-identified moderates. We have never seen such a homogeneous group teetering so close to special needs levels."

I think an IQ of 60 would put you at the point where you need a helper so I'm not quite surprised.

still tho its just funny how only a small portion of people on this board (<10) will consistently READ articles, examine methods, and attempt any sort of critical reading of information presented to them

Indicative of the american condition

This particular study may be fake, but there are a few real studies that have be done and they pretty much come to the same conclusion. Core Fox news watchers are dumber than the average.

IF you read the article that i included in that post you'd have seen my implicit acknowledgement of that as well. Hell, even the headline of the article. Otherwise I would have just said it was fake.

The image that caused the most stress was a poorly edited picture of President Obama standing next to a "ghostly" image of a child holding a tarantula.

The mental imagery I got from them being stressed about this just killed me

 

[stealthbomber]

i hate fox news just as much as the rest of you but lets not act like msnbc viewers are that far behind

id go so far to say anyone who gets their news strictly from television is prolly under the national average.
