Fascinating survey on the limited impact of new media on the American public's knowledge of current affairs. The methodology seems sound, in keeping with Pew Research's high standard.

After taking their news IQ test, I feel their point of view is skewed towards persons who focus on the issue of minimum wage. I track as many news stories as I can and some interesting stories are slow-breaking and take a long time to unfold. I missed one question about the exact amount of minimum wage and they automatically scored me wrong on the next question, pertaining to minimum wage. That shows too heavy of a weighting on the minimum wage issue.

Links to the source data. Good sample size. This is a lot of good info. I only wish they had broken out more news sources separately.

Comparing selected television shows to entire networks and all blogs seems arbitrary (and likely skews results). But still an informative look at how informed various groups of Americans are.
