2. Q9 - Grade the performance of the media. Well it's FUBAR of course but....
It seems the CNN question isn't actually concerned about its (or other "news" corps) failure to report the factual and truthful news but only about the media's coverage (overexposure) of Obama.

I want to give them a big F (for FU) but instead I think they'll take my vote as being anti-Obama coverage.

Ah...what to do, what to do?

9. Results will be reported Thursday Aug. 6 (I think)
"How Votes Are Tabulated

The national average grade for each question is the mean of the total votes submitted via CNN.com, Facebook, phone, and text messaging, starting August 2, 2009, and ending between 8 and 10pm ET on August 6, 2009. State-by-state averages are calculated using the same grade submissions if and when state-identifying information is available. Limit one vote per person."


CNN uses the following grading scale:
A+ = 4.3
A = 4.0
A- = 3.7
B+ = 3.3
B = 3.0
B- = 2.7
C+ = 2.3
C= 2.0
C- = 1.7
D= 1.0
F = 0

CNN averages those numerical scores and assigns the letter grade with the numerical score closest to that final number. For example, if the average numerical score is 2.59, the final letter grade would be a B-minus because 2.59 is closer to B-minus (2.7) than it is to C-plus (2.3).
