I don’t know where the Times got its crap statistics from.

Who knows, a certain part of their anatomy maybe? 😀😆

"I don’t know where the Times got its crap statistics from."

I since discovered that The Seattle Times writer mistook the total hate crimes for ALL categories and applied it to anti-MUSLIM hate crimes. I did that by following the link to one of her source stories. Since I follow hate crime stats from time to time, I instantly knew her figure was way off, by a factor of about 2400%. Apparently none of the professional journalists at the Times noticed the way-too-high figure, since it probably accords with their biased expectations.
