who would have guessed from this board?

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-15/1746-american-adults-were-asked-point-out-north-korea-map-was-result

However what was far more surprising according to the Morning Consult survey, is that on average, Republicans – and Republican men in particular – were more likely to correctly locate North Korea than Democratic men.

    lol Zero Hedge

    http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Zero_Hedge
    Zero Hedge is a batshit insane Austrian school finance blog run by two pseudonymous founders who post articles under the name "Tyler Durden," after the character from Fight Club.Wikipedia's W.svg It's essentially apocalypse porn. It has accurately predicted 200 of the last 2 recessions.[
    A telling article was written in 2016 about the blog's operations after a falling out between Colin Lokey and the forty two other authors at the blog.[19] The article included private chat logs between the authors emphasizing punishing 24/7 deadlines and an overwhelming profit motive to support the authors' extravagant lifestyles, which conflicted with the image of their anti-establishment, anti-capitalist icon Tyler Durden. To quote Lokey, "[t]wo guys who live a lifestyle you only dream of are pretending to speak for you." Lokey's resignation was also rather telling about the site's bias in heavily cheerleading for authoritarian, autocratic governments with terrible civil rights and human rights records and against freer, democratic societies:

    "I can’t be a 24-hour cheerleader for Hezbollah, Moscow, Tehran, Beijing, and Trump anymore. It’ s wrong. Period. I know it gets you views now, but it will kill your brand over the long run," Lokey texted Ivandjiiski. "This isn’t a revolution. It’s a joke."
    Zero Hedge is not quite the NaturalNews of economics, but not for want of trying.

    Hey, the NYT article pooped up on my newz feed. Zero Hedge is fucktarded if that was their conclusion. From the original:

    image

    An experiment led by Kyle Dropp of Morning Consult from April 27-29, conducted at the request of The New York Times, shows that respondents who could correctly identify North Korea tended to view diplomatic and nonmilitary strategies more favorably than those who could not. These strategies included imposing further economic sanctions, increasing pressure on China to influence North Korea and conducting cyberattacks against military targets in North Korea.

    They also viewed direct military engagement – in particular, sending ground troops – much less favorably than those who failed to locate North Korea.
    Slightly less dumb is not a compelling argument, and only the braintrust at Zero Hedge or ZombieBreitbart would think differently.

    Huh? Repubs 37%, Dems 31%. Women were equally ignorant at 27%, so assume an even split of men and women that means Repub men were something like 12% less ignorant than Dem men (~47% vs. ~35%)...not sure how that is "slightly less".

    Insert Liberal Duck education joke here?
