I wouldn't let your average NPR listener wash my car.

Hmmm, it looks to me like the numbers were statistically insignificant. The sample was on 1185 people and I WOULD LOVE to be able to see the slant of the questions. Additionally, the professor lumped Fox, CNN and MSNBC together in his estimation of the relative intelligence of viewers. So, the NPR listeners scored 1.5 out of a possible 5 and that makes THEM smart? Typical liberal bs bias. NPR makes my blood boil for the most part and the daily show isn't funny. John >From the article: "The study, which surveyed 1,185 people, found that in comparison, those who listened to National Public Radio fared best, answering 1.51 questions correctly, while those watching The Daily Show, which mixes current affairs with humour, scored 1.42." "These differences may be small, but even small differences are important when we're talking about millions of people," said Dan Cassino, political scientist and poll analyst. "We expect that watching the news should help people learn, but the most popular of the national media sources - Fox, CNN, MSNBC - seem to be the least informative."
