I heard about it because I went to the government website that tracked this data and checked for myself.
- ceejayoz 6y agoI ask, because there's currently a kerfluffle in my town over a killing where the local talk radio folks are claiming that local news is "covering it up" despite it being front page news on all of those news outlets. Your example sounds a lot like the "Black people hesitant to take the vaccine" thing from a few months ago, which got a bunch of recent coverage about how they're not actually hesitant, and that Republicans are higher on the hesitant list.

This is a pretty common thing; "they aren't covering X, which I heard about from this article in the media..."
- ars 6y agoIt's not about "aren't covering", I was genuinely curious about the results two weeks later and went searching for an update and there was nothing. I finally found the government site with the data I wanted. No, this was just media wanting to stir up trouble, and not interested in doing a "boring" follow up.
