It’s more like 400 people ‘shot dead’, and more than 350 people wounded. It’s not that I am trying to diminish the crime in Philadelphia. I just think facts are important.

Journalists have to be some of the stupidest people around. They spend tens of thousands of dollars and go into massive debt to attend j-school. And what do they learn? They are supposed to be able to write at a sixth grade level and ask/answer the 5 W’s. They don’t know what questions to ask. They get their facts wrong. Many times you can’t get past a headline of a story without a blatant mistake or simply a lie. Many third graders could do a better job. Yeah, even write at a sixth grade level if they were homeschooled.
