How “dumb” is your newspaper?

Google has started rating websites with a readability test to determine the reading level of the content.  This is great news as it can help you search the web using a totally new criteria.

Here’s a review of the 10 “dumbest” newspapers based on their readability.  I would argue that a highly accessible reading level (ie, more people are able to grasp it since it is at a lower level) is a good thing when it comes to news.  Literature, not so much.

This may be a really helpful data point for sentences in VocabSushi, so the articles and writing can be rated and users can set their reading level.
