What a surprise.Kids in red states, on the other hand, were more likely to repeat misinformation.
What a surprise that the catchphrase misinformation was used with no definitions.What a surprise.
Misinformation is anything the left doesn't like or disagrees with.What a surprise that the catchphrase misinformation was used with no definitions.
I believe that the right calls information it doesn't like fake news. I remember that you were defending Trump's statement that crime in NYC is at record high. I still would like to see the source of that information.Misinformation is anything the left doesn't like or disagrees with.
I liked the little girl who thought it would b e a good idea to have a black woman as president but she would still vote for Trump
No, they call LIES fake news.believe that the right calls information it doesn't like fake news.
If you wanted to "see" it you could. All the information is out there for you to make your own analysis. Google is highly partisan and it ranks articles based on some hidden agenda which we are not allowed to know. So, the articles you see are the articles that their algorithm decides that you should see. So, your choice is - believe the headlines or analyze the data yourself and make your own determination. Or scroll way down on your search results and eventually you will see dissenting articles which analyze the data for you but in a different way.I still would like to see the source of that information.
Let me try to parse your statements.No, they call LIES fake news.

To analyze the data yourself requires a certain amount of critical thinking and plain ordinary common sense. Does not prosecuting "minor" crimes lead to more crime or less? Does not reporting "minor" crime warp the statistics? Is it really OK to set a dollar limit on what a thief can walk out of a store with without paying? Who do you think pays for all those stolen items? Do you live in a city where you need a clerk to open a display case to get deodorant for you to buy? Do you live in a city where the corner store has a guard standing at the door because it is cheaper to pay for a guard than to absorb the cost of stolen goods? Is it really OK to allow a person who pushes another down a flight of stairs (video says it wasn't an accident) to walk out without even minimal bail?
You want to "see" the lies the left is telling you because you can't believe what you voted for. This is a result of cognitive dissonance.
You do realize that they are not counting crimes that they will not prosecute, right? Did your store loose thousands today to a flash mob? Too bad for you sucker, no crime was committed.The statistics collected by the NYPD show crime is down tremendously from its peak in 1990.
Crimes not prosecuted are counted. That is how the clearance rate is computed. Can you actually cite a store that was victimized by flash mob, tried to report the crime and was ignored?You do realize that they are not counting crimes that they will not prosecute, right? Did your store loose thousands today to a flash mob? Too bad for you sucker, no crime was committed.
You only "see" the headlines. I told you how to think for yourself. I cannot do it for you. It doesn't matter what links I provide for you, they will never be enough. Been there, done that. Not getting sucked in again.
Crimes not prosecuted are counted
That is true, but NYC does report quite thoroughly. Population surveys show some increase in non-reporting since 2020 (due to reduced confidence in the police).Actually many crimes are not even reported. the FBI is in the process of trying to convince local police to report crimes in a new reporting system, which has been lagging in adherence for several years. They have tried to make it easier but are still far, far under 100% reporting
I don't realize that. So are you saying that, for instance, a serial rapist who's raped a dozen victims but doesn't get caught and prosecuted, those crimes don't get counted? How about cases that get Nolle Pros'd or a not guilty? Do they then subtract them? Cases with insufficient evidence or technical defects?You do realize that they are not counting crimes that they will not prosecute, right?
You'd be surprised at the data NYPD collects, as well as some other agencies. I can't remember the name of the database but I used to have a contact that had access to it. If you so much as called the police about a barking dog or loud music, your info is in it. Basically any contact with police no matter what it was about or how mundane it may be, it was entered. It didn't have to be crime related to be input.but NYC does report quite thoroughly.

here's a link to the data- Crime Data Explorer
Redefining certain felonies as misdemeanors is a strategy used to reduce the jail population. Smash-and-grab and other property crimes have increased, these crimes are often underreported due to the lack of resources committed to crimes below a dollar threshold $950, in places like California. Crime has been redefined for political purposes.
The left has created a revolving door of crime with no end insight.
