American Thinker, the conservative opinion site, took a lighter approach to current events this weekend with a puzzle titled “Regularly sporadic, sporadically regular current events: A quiz.” Posted Saturday by columnist Eric Utter, the piece framed itself as a weekend diversion for readers while subtly jabing at media narratives through its multiple-choice format.
A Quiz With Answers Pre-Provided
Unusually, the article listed all quiz answers upfront—”d, c, e, a, e, e, c, d, b, d”—without providing the actual questions. This cheeky structure suggests the content was less about testing knowledge and more about parodying what the author implies are predictable media cycles. No specific news events were referenced in the visible portion of the post, leaving the quiz’s subject matter open to interpretation.
Weekend Commentary With a Side of Fundraising
The article followed American Thinker’s signature blend of opinion and call-to-action, concluding with an appeal for reader donations to “keep our ideas heard and our voices strong.” This aligns with the outlet’s frequent emphasis on free speech concerns and sustaining conservative media.
While the quiz itself remains unexplained, its existence highlights how partisan outlets increasingly use interactive formats—even in jest—to engage audiences amid a fractured media landscape. The decision to run such content on a Saturday also reflects the blurring line between news analysis and editorial entertainment in digital publishing.
