CNN and MSNBC Have Cited Falsified Statistics 73 Times Over the Last 24 Hours

(Worthy Insights) – Liberal cable networks CNN and MSNBC have been citing fabricated statistics in an attempt to debunk President Trump’s claims on Monday about rampant crime in Washington, D.C. Over the past 24 hours, these two networks have cited the dubious statistics over 70 times, while refusing to acknowledge that a D.C. police official was suspended for tampering with those stats just months ago.

Summary of findings:

  • Over 24 hours, CNN and MSNBC cited manipulated D.C. crime statistics 73 times.
  • Conservative CNN contributor Scott Jennings was the only individual on either network to mention that a police commander was suspended for allegedly falsifying those statistics.
  • Across both networks, January 6, 2021 was brought up 31 times.

In Mid-may, D.C. police commander Michael Pulliam was put on administrative leave after the police union accused his department of intentionally manipulating crime data. As Paul Wagner at NBC News Washington explained: “The union claims police supervisors in the department manipulate crime data to make it appear violent crime has fallen considerably compared to last year.” [ Source (Read More…) ]
