The paper declined to release specific figures for the finding, based on a survey of 339 relatives of 9/11 victims, explaining, "The study differs from a scientific survey in that the total population of living relatives of 9/11 victims is unknown and therefore could not be sampled precisely or randomly."

Interestingly, the Times frequently publishes poll results on the national election with a few hundred or a thousand in the sample. I would say 339 is a valid sample to draw conclusions about the close-in relatives of the 2,800 9/11 victims.

They had the Jersey Girls speak for all 9.11 families.
Why can't 339 have their say?

Up until this point, the MSM acted as if the four whiny Leftist Jersey Girls were the only relatives that mattered.
