Typical math skills from a journalist. 300 out of 12,000 is 2.5% - 100x more than claimed. I’m certain there will be no correction and apology.

What makes it especially embarrassing is that the author puts emphasis on statistics right in the headline, and then butchers one right out of the gate.

Yep..not to mention if it was .025, that would have rounded to .03.

You could take these numbers to journalism for the most part. If a college graduated 300 journalist only .025 would actually be a true journalist the rest just biased leftist mouth pieces.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Kind of sucks all the credibility out of the article from the git-go.
