CNBC Moderators Speak At Just Fifth-Grade Level

Eric Owens

9:21 AM 10/30/2015

CNBC has breathlessly reported that the Republican candidates who have participated in this year’s three GOP presidential debates have spoken at the ninth-grade level or below according to the Flesch-Kincaid readability test.

The cable network announced its findings on Thursday, the day it was widely criticized for bungling this week’s debate.

CNBC does not appear to have subjected its own moderators to the Flesch-Kincaid readability test.

However, The Daily Caller did.

The results show that the words (and words and words) uttered by CNBC’s small battalion of moderators averaged a fifth-grade vocabulary level — just barely.

Like CNBC, TheDC used the Flesch-Kincaid readability test for its analysis

A parrot can pretend to speak intelligently through plagarism.

As far as CNBC and its GOP debate national audience ---fifth grade sounds about right. Possibly a bit over sophisticated for their sleeping minds but then that's how learning takes place. Challenging weak stagnant minds.

The bulk of us that do not consider ourselves develpmentally-disabled somehow are only running at about half-throttle anyway. The hope that some impromptu, intelligent political discussion might erupt any old where is a nice thought, but c'mon - we live where we live.

In one of my last wound-up rants I danced around the notion of almost giving up; of voting Trump and sitting back and watching the world burn. I didn't reap as much outrage there as I anticipated, and am still a tad bothered by that. I don't really want to watch the world burn. It's just one of those things that gets thrown out there when I'm having some sort of tantrum or other. We all go there.

When a person really thinks about your idea it could actually work. Couldn't get myself to actually vote for Trump or the others. Why not let those who truly believe do the voting. Then they own the disaster. Let them take this country so far down into the gutter so the public experiences true dysfunctional policies. Let them make millions suffer true pain. If people want more fascism...well, give it to em!! And then we would know if the public has any balls left to rise up in its defense. Decade after decade of this homogenized politics--Left blended with Right--is going nowhere. Watered down crap. And the billionaires sit and smile.

In the past I've mentioned this plan to my brother. He says I'm just being cynical. Really?? The status quo is cynical. Jeez oh Petes!

I thought about voting for Trump just because it would be a hilarious 4 years,  but then I realized that crazy bastard would have control of the military, and our nuclear launch codes. So I can't vote for him even if it would be funny.

WTF? What does menopause have to do with being President? Are you suggesting she'll have a hot flash and nuke Russia?

Just out of curiosity, have you had your truck checked for an exhaust leak?
