The only thing that you acknowledged in the post that I quoted was that the study was fake. Reading your post it seemed a if you were doubting the fact that research has shown that people who watch Fox news regularly are dumber than those that don't. If you knew that then cool. I don't see why you're making such a big deal about this particular study being fake when the point remains. "We all got snowed" No we didn't.
Fox News Viewers have an IQ that is 20 points lower than the U.S. National average

Its not about the study being fake, its about nobody using their critical reading skills ever. Taking conclusions and running with them without investigating something first. It's not a big deal. its just funny

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.
This is what I was gonna post too........I mean just think about it what is a TV show without ratings.....and how do u get more ratings???

Doesn't seem like you're laughing to me. There's definitely some bytchyness in your tone.

Sometimes you gotta mock people a little bit to make sure they keep their shyt right. I dont see you being mr. polite in all your posts so deal with it i guess
Could that be what I'm doing to you? Keep it real, you're a Fox news watcher right? You don't seem too happy about the conclusion that's been drawn hence the smokescreen.

Exactly. I think Fox News provides a stellar overview of United States politics without the demographic pandering biases of MSNBC and CNN. They deliver accurate, if somewhat impassioned looks at the issues that are causing the degradation of american culture and the extinction of our values. Liberals dont even understand economics, how could some manufactured fake study prove that conservatives arent intelligent
? Typical propaganda.

Wicherts, Dolan, and van der Maas (2009) contend that the average IQ of sub-Saharan Africans
is about 80. A critical evaluation of the studies presented byWDMshows that many of these are
based on unrepresentative elite samples. We show that studies of 29 acceptably representative
samples on tests other than the Progressive Matrices give a sub-Saharan Africa IQ of 69; studies
of the most satisfactory representative samples on the Standard Progressive Matrices give an IQ
of 66; studies of 23 acceptably representative samples on the Colored Progressive Matrices give
an IQ of 71. The international studies of mathematics, science, and reading give a sub-Saharan
African IQ of 66. The four data sets can be averaged to give an IQ of 68 as the best reading of the
IQ in sub-Saharan Africa.
The black-white gap is 15 points when measured on the Wechsler tests, 18 on the Stanford-Binet. Both tests are, of course, normed so as to produce an average of 100, but the white average is a bit higher. On the Wechsler metric, whites and blacks average 102 and 87, respectively. On both tests, the gap between the races is almost exactly 1 SD (standard deviation). The gap of 1 SD has been observed since the earliest days of intelligence testing.

You have a pitiful perspective of other human beings. I feel sorry for you. Try to get those dark spirits out of your life. They're so demonic, friend.
i printed this article out at work today and gave it to this dude i work with who loves Fox news...dude was mad.
Shows the bias here that this was taken at face value...it comes down to wanting to believe something you truly believe in your heart...I have cognitive bias too sometimes more so in 2008
