Sure. Glad to do that. Have done it many
times at various Web sites. For this post
here at Hacker News, tried to be short.
What you are asking for could use a book,
maybe books.
Okay:
(1) There is a list of MSM hoaxes at
https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2024/01/30/nolte-atlantic-contributor-wants-taxpayers-save-media-extinction-level-event/ https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2024/01/30/nolte-atlanti...
The hoaxes are evidence of my claim of bad
reporting.
Each claimed hoax has a link to a
reference. If the references are not good
reporting, then we have more evidence of
my claim of bad reporting.
(2) At
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/02/09/america-last-12-senate-republicans-vote-to-send-ukraine-another-60b-after-vowing-to-put-u-s-border-first/ https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/02/09/america-last-1...
just saw:
"12 Senate Republicans Vote to Send
Ukraine Another $60B After Vowing to Put
U.S. Border First"
Soooo, need details on the $60B: There
are claims, where we need details, that,
in direct contradiction to the headline,
the $60B is not actual money we will "send"
to Ukraine
and, instead, is shipments of equipment,
supplies, etc. from US sources that amount
to the $60B to the US sources. Soooo, if
these claims are true, no US dollars
actually leave the US, and US balance of
payments and exchange rate of the dollar
only a little or not at all affected.
And, for a Senator in a state with a
company that makes bullets that will get
some of the $60B can help explain why that
Senator voted for the $60B -- inquiring
minds of curious citizens might want to
know.

https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2024/02/08/late-january-surge-in-jobless-claims-crashes-to-a-halt/ https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2024/02/08/late-january-su...
just saw:
"Late January Surge in Jobless Claims
Crashes To A Halt"
So, "surge" and "crashes" are heavily
emotional and not supported rationally.
Easily enough, we want the data over time
that justifies these emotional
descriptions. The story does have more
data, but just a graph of "claims" over
time would be a LOT better -- the story
doesn't have enough data to permit drawing
a good graph.
(4) At
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/02/08/poll-black-and-hispanic-voters-fleeing-democratic-party-in-growing-numbers/ https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/02/08/poll-black-and...
see
"Poll: Black and Hispanic Voters Fleeing
Democratic Party in Growing Numbers"
Here "fleeing" and "growing" are emotional
but not really rational. E.g., "growing"
might mean just 1 case in the whole year
and, thus, meaningless. Soooo, again we
need a graph over time.
(5) Then for one more, at
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/arab-center-poll-us/2024/02/08/id/1152892/ https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/arab-center-poll-us/2024/0...
is
"Arab Center Poll: Near Consensus of
Arabs Views US Negatively"
So what? Is that new? Again, we need a
graph over time. Without data over time,
this report is nearly meaningless.
