Rahm is the one that taught Obama how to tout the good news, even if it’s not a credible trend, like when the statistics for job losses aren’t as big one month compared to the general trend where month after month, the jobs losses were really bad news.
So, will Rahm be as quick to go to press with the homicide rate when the next month doesn’t follow the “trend” of the previous month, or when at the end of the year the statistics show a growth in the number of homicides?
Chicago is still the murder capital of the U.S., regardless of them having a “good” month.
But, I wonder how much of the news is more about the massaging of the statistics, as opposed to the real numbers that they won’t allow us to see. With democrats, when they have control of the statistics, you know that, we won’t be hearing the whole truth.
We Americans see this practice on a daily basis. The stock market goes up because of what policies the president has put into place, but when the market drops it’s because of poor condition in other places of the world.
