aight buddy
And I don't mean an article, I mean something that has been peer reviewed
airplanes are much worse than driving
obviously that data came from a peer reviewed study haha
Oh man
Not necessarily though.
journalists dont come up with their own data, but they do manipulate other people's studies to show things they want to show
nah bogus climate claims are perpetuated based on something journalists read on twitter
Just look at the amazon fire fiasco
ehhh actually no, they can pretty much come up with stuff
they CAN but they generally dont
not saying that was necessarily the case here, but just something to consider
Honestly they generally do, most journalistic organizations don't even issue retractions when they're straight up wrong
the fires were the same under lula and roussef but no one said shit
I mean I could come up with 3 or 4 examples off the top of my head
That is true, especially in recent years a number of journals has been extremely shotty
man if you really think journalists "generally make stats up on the spot" i feel like you're in fairytale conspiracy land...
and i have nothing wrong with conspiracies
News papers ignoring the firing of rubber bullets into the eyes and throats of yellow vesters being an international example
just a subset of them are very much fairytales
its not "making stats up"
lie by omission
Covington and Amazonian Forest Fires being another 2
Hmm
Whats a fourth, I may have to actually think about that one for a second
journalist manipulation is rarely about making up statistics, its usually lie by omission or citing dodgy sources
Gender Neutral Santa Clause
"russiagate"
OH YEAH
Russiagate
Hmm
brother i dont follow mainstream media because of things like that
Pizzagate too
but that doesnt mean statistics are made up generally
We aren't saying that they're generally made up, just that it's an entirely plausible possibility
I read an article doomsaying climate disaster by 2023 which didn't even cite a source
soup said they generally make up stats
Another one that actually used a study performed by somebody without a degree or employer who constructed a faulty model from incomplete climate data
*well I'm saying that at least
ye
