Anti-Intellectualism 2.0

Just a bit I found on the news today, good old Fox News is at it again, and this time simply demonstrating my point. In the following clip, the hosts of Fox and Friends try to answer questions Gretchen Carlson's daughter received at school.

When asked to convert 2.5kg into grams, and given a multiple choice, they collectively failed. 

Watch how Kilmeade derides Doocy about being able to, or at least trying to answer the questions.

"Oh stop it. Let's hear the answer. Come one Steve, don't try to be smart," Kilmeade said

Carlson later asked "Does somebody have a calculator on their phone."  From a network claiming it has news.
