Speaking of stats.... Your daily American reads at a 6-9th grade level, which means they comprehend information at the same level. News once was produced at a 12-15 level, today most stations are 6-10th grade level, with a few reports/reporters that still go up. The majority of people get information at the most basic level, comprehend the information at the most basic level and aren't able to rationalize the full picture even if it's explained to them with pretty pictures and drawings.

Legal documents, lawyers, local laws are written around level 15-25. Government acts, policies, laws, etc are written between levels 35-50+. I don't actually expect the mass majority of people to truly understand this information, and the mass majority don't. They have no choice but to get the information from a 3rd party source.


When I see Beck spewing twisted, backwards, jacked up information that is clearly misguided, incorrect and sometimes pure straight up stupid and then a few 100k people line up to agree with him... I only need to know the stats and look at that rally to understand why America is truly fucked.
