Do you ever wonder just how credulous and dupable the press and our politicians believe us to be? As they serve up the sound-bite-du-jour, do you ever wonder if they chuckle to themselves, amazed  at how truly naive we seem? Even as they stare us right in the face, handing out one line of BS after another.

The Gullibility Scale will look at the top news stories (or myths) of the day and calculate just how “born yesterday” you would have to be to believe their ingenuous spin.

SEVERE…. 10 headlines are so unbelievable that if you fell for them, chances are you still need your Mom’s help to tie your shoes in the morning.

HIGH…. 7-9 headlines push credibility to such a degree that to concur means you still believe Super Man and Cat Woman are real crime fighters.

ELEVATED…. 5-6 stories would be deceivable enough that you would probably also believe that Guam could actually tip over with too many people.

GUARDED…. 3-4 “Breaking news” myths would be so laughable that even John Stewart wouldn’t touch them.

LOW…. Who are we kidding? In our current climate, I don’t even know why we put on Low on the scale.
