Murders/year in a given city has traditionally been a reliably hard number nobody could hide or pretend was lower than it actually was.
No current mayor of any municipality would ever get the idea to cite an inaccurately low murders/year number because of how impossible it would be to hide the true number from any reasonably intelligent AND honest AND diligent journalist determined to fact check the cited number against all of the primary sources that, cumulatively speaking, are the repository of such data.
Should we believe any supposedly “hard” data reported in any media source anymore? Does any journalist care anymore for his or her reputation for intelligence/honesty/diligence?
Along these lines, why shouldn’t we already know the names of the allegedly post-vax dead passenger aircraft pilots?
For that matter, do we have a hard database of the names of the U.S. COVID-19 dead? For all we know, this list, if it is even available for inspection, will be as artificially large as, and have contents as preposterously faked and fictitious as, the current list of registered Democrat voters in Cook County, Illinois.
Is this a rhetorical question?
