As I hope you know, "cases" is used to drive a particularly negative portrayal of Trump and his administration's efforts. It's why J Rubin at Wapo wrote her editorial using that basis to claim the US now has the highest number of infected in the world. We know she works as a propagandist, so it's her job to intentionally confuse certain issues by spreading disinformation.
But for some reason FR apparently allows the unidentified sabotage to continue unabated. It's run as a commercial operation, so it most likely needs the controversy, page views and comment volume to remain viable. I just thought it should be more widely recognized by users who might not know otherwise what is occurring.

Data is data.
All data has strengths and weaknesses.
Any data can be misused as propaganda.
Around here we look at all the data, acknowledge its strengths and weaknesses, and analyze using a variety of metrics.
We have been doing this for _weeks_.
Case numbers are one metric—most folks around here know exactly what it does tell us—and what it does not.
The data you know is the only data you have.
All that hot air to illustrate and proclaim that you are the unidentified sabotage.
Well, we look at, and evaluate, all types of data, on this thread.
As far as the other threads are concerned, I think we still have a good amount of posters who will call out/question any outlandish posts/stats/etc.
If you’re convinced that this site ‘allows the unidentified sabotage to continue unabated’ and, that ‘It’s run as a commercial operation’....keeping in mind that posts do NOT equal clicks, or donations, then you are more than welcome to post excluslively at that .win site.
Your choice.
Take best care.
So, how would you track it? By weight?
