OK I have never been good at these darn Quiz. Always something in the news I didn't read the full story or the kids went DAD...

But no bull and no Googling the answers to get a better result..

[Mythirion]

I got a 30%. Fail

 

[Peter Parka]

30%. Not bad seeing that only three of those question were on the news over here.

 

[Accountable]

I scored 80%. I'm not into football *ducks the beer bottle someone threw* and I actively avoid all things Tiger.

This quiz is great! I'm going to use it for an extra credit quiz in all my social studies classes. Thanks for it!

I dont watch the propaganda thats passed off as news these days.

 

[Accountable]

Scored that low, eh?

I didn't pay attention, only the Middle East news and Haiti. of course, I use a different news source

Yeh, me too. Isn't it sad that different news agencies have different ideas about what is news? It used to be just straight facts.

 

[Goat Whisperer]

The answers were too specific, I heard about most of it, but couldn't destitution my memory for like specific names, or quotes, or whatever.

Yes I agree.

I use the one that my world affairs teacher told me to use...aljazeera or something. It's the Middle East version of the news. But before I used BBC News, which he said is more accurate? Something like that

IMO: The best way to find reliable news, is to look at it from several sites and find the most consistent versions/facts of the story.

 

[Accountable]

I agree. Triangulate the information, meaning if 2 sources disagree, find a third to help figure out the truth.

 

[Guyzerr]

I remember that there was another drug related killing not far from my house this week. I live out in the country and it seems that's becoming quite a common meeting place for a deal to go down. This guy was 21 years old. Isn't it a wonder why you never meet any old drug dealers?
