“ Now we find they've been lying about crime stats too.

In September 2023, the FBI released the "final" crime data for 2022 - showing that the nation's violent crime rate fell by 2.1% - which Democrats used to counter Donald Trump's claims that crime has been soaring.

Now we find that the FBI has quietly revised those numbers - and that crime actually increased by 4.5% in 2022 (4.9% in absolute terms).” https://www.zerohedge.com/political/stealth-edit-f...

Umm, I can read data.

Like this:
 
VIOLENT CRIME MURDER MURDER RATE
NON-NEGLIGENT
HOMICIDE

2022 1,256,671 21,781 6.5

2023 1,218,467 19,252 5.7


That is down, isn't it? And 2023 is the most recent year data are available, right?

Homicides clearly declined from 2022 to 2023.

And the HUGE spikes in violent crime occurred in the Trump years between 2019 and 2020, from 1,195,986 to 1,272,812, significantly above the increase from 2021 to 2022. Those same years, Trump years 2019 to 2020, murders went from 16,964 to 22,510. The Biden years 2021 and 2023 had the lowest violent crime rates going back decades.

hclasvegas: What did u think of the interview bud?

Interview? That looked more like Bret Baier picking an argument. Baier must have been scared to death by the thousands of emails and messages warning him not to go easy on her or else.

But she did great. She was unflappable. She looked strong, and presidential. I especially liked it when Baier tried to pass off a Trump clip that Baier claimed refuted the claim that Trump constantly calls Americans the "enemies from within" -- but was him playing the victim card and talking about "Alfonse Capone" -- and she wouldn't let him get away with the obvious misrepresentation.

As a journalist, he should have been ashamed at this blatant attempt to sanewash Trump but in the end, he's just another Fox lackey.

Best case scenario some women Fox "News" viewers come away thinking, "Gee, I don't agree with her but she's sure not dumb. And she looked strong without being bitchy. I thought she was supposed to be stupid and weak. Hhmmm."

Seeing that republicans are whining and crying MAGA tears about the "interview," they must have thought she did too good a job. She might want to consider another appearance or two in hostile territory.

Dana Perino, George W Bush's press secretary and Fox host, said: "But at times, especially when she was going after Donald Trump, she was fairly effective at that."

Yep. That was what really mattered: she definitely landed some solid body blows on that flappy orange blubber.

Oh, and before you say, "But she didn't answer the questions," she answered enough and deflected effectively. That's how these interviews are done when they're done right.

BTW, when's the last time Trump answered an interview question or a Fox interviewer either talked over him or stopped him from talking after 30 seconds besides never?
