I wonder what the reaction will be when the MSM makes this information front page news?

Deliberately lying to support your leftist agenda, or to protect your boney butt from the IRS or the government is both morally and ethically acceptable to this crowd. In fact, it is cause for admiration and praise.

These people find it quaintly curious that someone would demand that they tell the truth, certainly their Dear Leader has never done so.

Do they use Nancy Pelosi math??? If so, there has been 6.5 billion Iraquis killed since the war started in 2003.

The survey methodology used was that a surveyer asked three different members of an Iraqi family how many people they knew that had died during the war. Each family member said “three”. It was pretty easy to use regression analysis from that point and determine that three out of four people in Iraq were killed by the Americans.

. . . it was derived from a house-to-house survey rather than approaches that depend on body counts or media reports."

Surveys are more accurate than actual body counts. /sarc

This study apparently suffered from “main street bias”. Supposedly the investigator only talked to people on main streets - much safer than penetrating into the neighborhoods. But main streets are where IEDs and homicidal bombers operate. They’re not setting these things off on side streets. So the sample was biased towards the most likely area for casualties and ignored the areas where they would be a lot lower.

Burnham should expand his research into global warming. He’s got the perfect attitude for that sort of “science”.

However, neither Dr. Burnham nor the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health are members of AAPOR...

I believe this qualifies as "no controlling legal authority."
