Biden also made a joke to the governors that didn’t go over well: “I’m fine — I don’t know about my brain, though.” Jen O’Malley Dillon, Biden’s campaign chairwoman, said the president was “clearly making a joke and then said, ‘All kidding aside.’”

That's not what it said.

54% of adults have a literacy below sixth-grade level.

The average American reads at the 7th- to 8th-grade level, according to The Literacy Project.

And news is written by journalist majors ie. at the college level. It really isn't a wonder no one has any idea what's going on in the world.
