This is NOT, repeat, NOT, an Onion story.

Intelligence Institute Study shows Fox News viewers
have an IQ that is 20 points lower than the U.S. National average.

The results of a 4 year study show that Americans who obtain their news from Fox News channel have an average IQ of 80, which represents a 20 point deficit when compared to the U.S. national average of 100. IQ, or intelligence quotient, is the international standard of assessing intelligence.

Researchers at The Intelligence Institute, a conservative non-profit group, tested 5,000 people using a series of tests that measure everything from cognitive aptitude to common sense and found that people who identified themselves as Fox News viewers and 'conservative' had, on average, significantly lower intelligent quotients. Fox Viewers represented 2,650 members of the test group.

  1. Fred... Although may not be an Onion story am having a great deal of difficulty finding any record of the "Intelligence Institute" not to mention P. Nichols other than in PRWEB a somewhat self serving Press Release Web Site.
