I am aware that most of my knowledge about income distribution comes via news articles/videos. In the instances where they DO cite sources (which is rare), I have never personally investigated the data behind claims.
That is why I prefaced my comment about being "primed" by media.
- wolverine876 5y agoThen perhaps the question is, 'what causes the high rate of child poverty in the US, can anyone provide some substantive information?' The claim is baseless and thus not relevant; posting it just spreads a baseless claim, which we have plenty of on the Internet! > In the instances where they DO cite sources (which is rare) If it helps, try higher-quality news. The journalism I read always cites sources; it's a rule of serious journalism.

- mikeg8 5y agoYour comments is condescending and counter productive to what was a generally inquisitive question by OP. Try shedding light instead of nit-picking. Your proposed question is not as superior to OPs as you think.
- wolverine876 5y agoYou seem to be the expert in condescension. There was an inquisitive part of the question, but also part that was just misinformation, and the latter was unnecessary to the former.
