Establishment media outlets like The Washington Post hyped a now-disputed study that linked President Donald Trump’s campaign rallies to a spike in hate crimes, but they’ve yet to cover a second study that debunked the first one.
The first study, which three Texas university professors conducted, said counties that hosted Trump rallies in 2016 saw a 226% spike in hate crimes compared to places that didn’t host Trump rallies. Harvard University researchers found the political scientists had gotten it wrong when they tried to replicate the study.
“The study is wrong, and yet journalists ran with it anyway,” Harvard researchers Matthew Lilley and Brian Wheaton wrote on Sept. 6 in Reason, a libertarian magazine.
Establishment media outlets spread the first study’s conclusions but have largely ignored the second.
The Texas researchers published their findings in March in the Post in an analysistitled, “Counties that hosted a 2016 Trump rally saw a 226 percent increase in hate crimes.” The Post cited the study in several articles published since then.
Other media outlets echoed the analysis.

The socialist RAT organization is a hate crime and anti-Semite factory.
Why would they run the second study? We all know that these criminals are not interested in the truth; just their version of the truth.
“The study is wrong, and yet journalists ran with it anyway,”
“Establishment media outlets spread the first study’s conclusions but have largely ignored the second.”
More critics teaching their desired answer by ignoring the facts.
The hate crimes were against Trump supporters. In the media’s eyes, you are instigating an attack simply by attending a Trump rally.
That’s what the Ministry of Propaganda does.
Propaganda.
Look at MSLSD, CNN, and the big nets. Ratings down. Embarrassed almost daily. They are a joke and most of America knows it.
They told big lies and got caught. Why does that surprise anyone?
If you are on the left you live on lies and are damn proud of it.
Whatever happened to the Russian propaganda BS and the predictions, big bald faced lies, of Trump being indicted/arrested/convicted/sent to prison?
Every lefty I know told those lies every day for two years and now refuse to even acknowledge their dishonesty.
That is what the left has taught us, they lie all the time and are very proud of it.
Well...
Trump rallies automatically trigger hate crimes.
Mentioning the name Trump will get people to hate you.
Wearing a MAGA hat is a hate crime and brings out the worst in people.
Cheering for Trump means you’re a hater and makes you a racist and a homophobe and misogynist and an Islamaphobe.
That must be what the Texas study was all about.
It’s hard to find a hate crime that is not a hoax unless it’s liberal committing it.
Ummm, liberals are liars... it’s a different type of violence used against conservatives. So I’m not surprised the ‘research’ was ‘flawed’...
TIME TO BRING THIS UP
During the period after the civil war known as reconstruction black legislators who were Republican were elected in the south To stop this democrats came up with segregation poll taxes and Jim Crow laws and the KKK
And murdering them.
I don’t know how they proved the first study ‘wrong’. I read the first study and it was unintelligible gibberish.
Thanks lowbridge.
Feinberg is squealing like a stuck pig! What a bunch of used food.
Feinberg said that “there are several methodological questions that [Lilley and Wheaton] have not answered and claims where we fundamentally disagree.”
Name them publically then, weasel. I think you [Feinberg] are lying.
I'm glad you've noticed this tactic.
bump
Thanks civ...
“The truth that is being masked by this entire back and forth is that to confirm model validity often requires many hours (and days) of testing and retesting. The idea that transforming a single variable invalidates a whole series of analyses and models produced by Ph.D. holding researchers lacks face validity,” Ayal Feinberg, one of the Texas researchers, told the DCNF in an email.
