New Study: Racists And Right-Wingers Tend To Be Dumb
studies have indicated an automatic association between aggression, America, and the news. A study conducted by researchers at Cornell University and The Hebrew University indicated, “American news watchers who were subtly or nonconsciously primed with American cues exhibited greater accessibility of aggression and war constructs in memory, judged an ambiguously aggressive person in a more aggressive and negative manner, and acted in a relatively more aggressive manner toward an experimenter following a mild provocation, compared with news watchers who were not primed.”
American “cues” refers to factors such as images of the American flag or words such as “patriot.” Interestingly, this study showed the effect to be independent of political affiliation but suggested a disturbing notion that America is implicitly associated with aggression for news watchers.
Taken together, what do these studies suggest? Excessive exposure to news coverage could be toxic as is the avoidance of open-minded attitudes and ideals. Perhaps turn off the television and pick up a book? Ideally, one that exposes you to differing worldviews.

Donald Trump loves the 'poorly educated' — and they love him
Trump did well across the board in Nevada, garnering 45.9% of the vote, but he did even better among voters with a high school education or less. Fifty-seven percent of those voters supported him
