That DU will help you score higher on political tests too.

But your point's well taken as to televised news, yet those who drop out of the tv "news" don't always find a new home with a lot of information, such as DU. But for finding some sort of new alternative media home, I think you would do lots worse on those current events political trivia tests. How would you get the information other than through some form of media? First hand knowledge doesn't seem too likely or practical.
