Take this brief 11 question test at Pew Research on your knowledge of the news:  Pew Research Interactive

I got 10 out of 11 correct. I missed the one about our greatest Federal Expense.

A few observations:

1. I read no newspapers, watch very little news on TV, rarely listen to the news on the radio.  These media sources have become irrelevant to being informed.

2. The fact that 18-29 year olds are the poorest informed is not really shocking,  but it does raise the question of what drives their vote.

3.  Jon Stewart claimed that Fox Viewers were the worst informed but that was based on a very biased poll.  I would be interested to see how Fox Viewers would rate in this poll.
