Well, we differ on that. 'Gullible' has a connotation of an
unsophisticated and less than smart person.

no... plenty of REALLY smart are gullible.


A gullible person is easily
tricked or suckered. They are pawns in the hands of their 'users'.


which is why i used the word... it applies.

The term is sometimes used to described someone who, because of their
own experiences, thinks differently than we do. Gullible, in the sense
you used it, means 'wrong'.

Thinking differently doesn't automatically mean thinking incorrectly.

Then why the 'studies' to 'prove' conservatives are not as smart as liberals

Why would I read a site that classifies a group of people as stupid?

The poster quoted:
=======================================
An April 2007 Pew Research Study survey found that viewers of the
conservative Fox News channel had the lowest knowledge of national and
international affairs."
=======================================

This says 'viewers'. That could be anybody. I'm sure both political
wings watch each other's propaganda.

I'd rather watch factual NEWS. Editorial comment belongs in the opinion
section.
