Insane Claims on MSNBC: 45% Americans in Poverty, 1-in-4 Dies Yearly!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/18/2020 4:39:43 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Guest host Tiffany Cross claimed that, while awaiting the conclusion of negotiations on the new stimulus package, Americans are "starving." Other than people who have fallen off the grid due to addiction or mental illness, perhaps Cross could tell us how many Americans have starved during these negotiations.

Even more egregiously, the Rev. William Barber, a poverty advocate and regular MSNBC guest, offered up some statistics that can only be called insane.

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

45% of the US in poverty, and 1/4 of the population dies every year.

Why would anyone believe ANYTHING these people say?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

77,500,000 people die every year?

The vast majority of Americans have no idea what is real poverty. IMHO if you have a large screen TV, smart phone, etc, you aren't living in poverty. Go to a 3rd world country like Thailand to see poverty:

Well, if you add up Biden’s 150,000,000 dead from ‘gun violence’ since the assault weapons ban expired and his 200,000,000 will be dead by the end of my speech, MSNBC’s numbers are a little light.

Like the old joke: A woman gives birth in the US every 9 minutes. We’ve got to find that woman and stop her!

I know that MSNBC is playing the equal opportunity game, but for God’s sake can’t they book some intelligent Blacks?

I’ve been making jokes that, due to voter fraud, Biden may get 400 million votes this year.

If that happened, the MSM would just report it and move on like there was nothing odd about it at all.

No one dies in America of starvation, unless they are like a crack addict. No one. If someone died of starvation in America, it would be the lead story on the CBS news.

Poor people in America are infinitely more likely to die of morbid obesity.

TIFFANY CROSS: people are hungry and starving?" Actually with over 42% of Americans being obese, the "starving" claim is not usually made, having been replaced with the assertions of "food insecurity:" 10.5 percent (13.7 million) of U.S. households were food insecure at some time during 2019. Significantly down from 11.1 percent in 2018." (https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nutrition-assistance/food-security-in-the-us/key-statistics-graphics.aspx)

Some time ago i did research into how agencies come up with such figures and the crafty way some agencies raise funds to "help the hungry" in the US use such findings and I found them quite contrived. How many Americans do NOT experience hunger, or how many well-fed souls would say they sometimes "do not have enough food of sufficient quality and quantity"...," or had to put things back on the rack because they did not have enough money (that can mean with them) to buy them all, or did not know where their next meal was coming from (that could even mean McDonalds, Papa Ginos, etc)? There is the relative poor, as we were growing up, but the figures are exaggerated for funding purposes.

At length examination here, by God's grace. Food hunger in America: More Hype than Reality. Why?

From the background of his video, the good Rev. Barber seems to have done quite well at lifting himself out of poverty.

Possibly he could share his secrets with those still trapped in poverty so they could get out...

Well, he's got science on his side. Can't argue with that.

I’ve been in the slums in India. Let’s talk about poverty.
