Is it any coincidence that rush and hannity listeners have a higher aptitude of political knowledge?

And their counterparts that listen and watch lib media oultets consistently fail these basic political kowledge tests and also are the most vociferous about issues that know little about?

    No it's not. And look at the dismal CNN scorers. HA!

    Here's a great example of the average Obama supporter (every one of these people thought that Palin was his running mate).

    A perfect score was obtained by 44 percent of regular listeners of National Public Radio (NPR), 43 percent of regular viewers of MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews" and 42 percent of the Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" audience. Thirty-four percent of "The Colbert Report" audience and 30 percent of "The Daily Show" audience got all three questions correct.

    NPR and MSNBC are not liberal ?

    It is called listening to different sources and not just being spoon fed what is on the evening news. I was one of them but I took Rushes 12 step program in the Clinton years when the health care debacle came up. I was a nurse and knew Hillary et al were crazy. I had heard horrible things about Rush and one day I listened to him and agreed with many of the things he had to say; My God someone agreed with me. Since then I have not neglected my political education and listen to Hannity, Savage and even Stephanopolus and that crew. It is amazing how much BS the country is fed.

    Lies. Fron your article:

    "A perfect score was obtained by 44 percent of regular listeners of National Public Radio (NPR), 43 percent of regular viewers of MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews" and 42 percent of the Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" audience.

    No--because that is not the case and is not what the article says.

    They don't. Read the article. The scores for listeners of those sows were the same as for readers/listeners of liberal programs and publications.

    The article also SPECIFACALLY statedd that score averages crossed ideological lines. So your "question" misrepresents what the article says.

    I pay attention to different media types and I got the 3 questions right. My favorite is NPR.

    People who regularly tune in to daily 3-hour long progarms about politics can answer three very basic questions about politics. Hardly surprising!
