A perfect example of rightwing reporting nonsense. (Yes, our side plays the misinformation game, too).

In this article from the Daily Caller,  the point of the text is the “dumbing down” of American education.  As an example,  the Caller used Jeapardy with the first time ever,   tie game,   featuring all “zeros”  as final totals.  All three contestants wound up with no money,  after trying to answer the final question.  “Dumbing down”  was the conclusion of the Daily Caller. 
Obviously,  the author of this article is more the example,  than the young people on the award winning program.  I watched the show.  I was as surprised as anyone with its outcome.  I do not remember the final totals before each young candidate  placed their final wager,  but I do remember the total  of the young man on the left,  in the picture below  ---   he had won 16,400 dollars  -- no “dumbing down”  represented in that total ! Unfortunately,  he did not have the final answer,  and had bet the entire $16,400.  

The Daily Caller missed this point,  but reported its ignorant conclusion anyway.  

Talk about “dumbing down !!!!!”
