Another installment of lies, damned lies and statistics. "Believe nothing you hear and half of what you read." Coach John Inman
I think he may have been a little to generous about believing what you read. In theory I favor anything that helps people stop believing that politicians are anything but idiots, but I don't think lying or being careless about truth is the best path ahead.
"Actually, “official death toll” is exactly what it is not. Meyers not only acted even more childishly than the president he was belittling, but he was being intellectually lazy as well. Moreover, such comments confirmed a key part of Trump’s claim: His critics have definitely exploited Puerto Rico’s suffering to hammer the president."
