onlyMark, if you are not from the USA that is good, I am concerned about the people who live here who would get a score like that. What even concerns me more it that these people vote here.

11 out of 13. The questions I erred on were the political parties of Lincoln and Roosevelt and the other was who was more likely to reduce the size of government and I think I read the question incorrectly.

I got 11 out of 13 as well. I got the history ones right, but I have to admit, they might have given me trouble if I hadn't taken history classes somewhat recently. I totally flubbed the Nancy Pelosi one. I think I subconsciously wished she was a Republican.  |

11/13.
I stupidly put Roosevelt in the Republicans. I was wrong also about John Boehner. I'm not sure I ever heard about him.
I'm a subscriber of The Nation (yes I read English better than I write it) so I have have a minimum knowledge of the political life in the US.

I was lucky to get the 4 mick. I think it's about on par with what you'd get from just guessing.

I got them all "correct" although the Qs & As are really more subjective than objective.
What really amazed me though that there is a website dedicated to exposing a "liberal media bias"! Ask any Non-american to try to find any liberal media at all in the US. There are almost none, never mind a pervasive bias towards liberality.

Isn't The Nation considered a "liberal" media?

Isn't The Nation considered a "liberal" media? Liberal? Moderately so, yes. Mainstream it ain't. Most people here get their news and analysis from television and there is essentially no mainstream liberal television news except perhaps MSNBC- which I'd reckon is more left-center than left. Same with newspapers, there are essentially no leftist newspapers in the US. Even ones that get called liberal like the NYT are really liberal only from an American extreme right perspective. |
