People who read and believe the NYT are more likely to vote for Socialist Democrats.

NYT: 100% of people who are born will eventually die.

People that work with sharp tools are more likely to cut themselves!
People that work with electricity are more likely to electricute themselves
People that post stupid stories are more likely to be thought of stupid
So this is what passes for journalism :grumble

Statistics show that people who own life jackets are more likely to die from drowning than people who don't.

New York, NY, June 4, 2020: The World Health Organization reported today on the findings of an important US$2.2 million COVID-19 study funded by drawn from its member nations. "This study has been the nonstop focus of over four dozen researchers," said Dr. Wayne R. Pepper, head of critical care pulmonology at Saints Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles. "It is vital for us to fully understand both contagion vectors and clustering of cases if we are to prevent a second wave of COVID-19."

Preliminary results of the research offered shocking data. In the more than 3,000 COVID-19 cases studied, of those individuals who were, or had at one point been, infected by the novel coronavirus, fully 97.6% either tested positive for the virus or for antibodies produced in response to the virus. "This has far-reaching ramifications," said Dr. Pepper. "It unquestionably shows that almost all of the people who have been infected by the novel coronavirus have also contracted COVID-19. This may be a game-changer for the approach we take in forestalling and managing a second wave of the pandemic."

The NYT as an organization believes in gun control and attempts to convince others to adopt that mindset. If you move past the pretense that it is a news organization, then their role as a strongly left-leaning magazine with a focus upon public events becomes pretty obvious. They absolutely have a right to print their opinions, as we have the right to disagree. The frustration arises, I think, from the error of calling their publication "journalism" when it is plainly opinion.

Propaganda may be a better description. Not just for the NY Slimes, but for the entire main sewer media.

I'll play along. People who drive or are passengers in cars are 20,000 times more likely to die in a car accident than people who don't :roll:

Guess I've been very lucky all these years. Both in the car driving/riding and owning a firearm.
