I don't want this to be a stupid post, but it's going to be. The only thing that I really have heard about is Haiti. That's not saying much. Oh, and I heard about the assassination in China.
all i remember is haiti this, haiti that, blah blah haiti blah haiti donate to haiti, blah american blah blah haiti blah blah saved blah blah
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..

I got a 30%. Fail
30%. Not bad seeing that only three of those question were on the news over here.
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.
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.
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.
I agree. Triangulate the information, meaning if 2 sources disagree, find a third to help figure out the truth.
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?
70% correct
My dealer is 52. *Shrugs* :dunno
They don't last that long around here.
