You can tell that journalism is dead because they cite how much it's allegedly dropped in the past year with literally zero other info or context. Ok, dropped from what to what? How does this compare to other cities? Has it gone up consistently for the last deacde? How much crime is still happening after that drop? Is the drop in real, predicted crime, or just reports of it? Are there reasons why reporting would go down despite crime not going down? And to cite these numbers without providing context at the same time of citing them that someone was literally fired for allegedly manipulating the data. And to be clear they're just allegations, but also the data is controlled by someone whose job and ego is tied to these numbers dropping, and the rate of the drop is basically unbelievable - 25% to 28% drop in a single year? After suggesting it went down 34% the year before? Even if my info I just wrote is something someone could dispute, is it not part of journalism to at least provide the bare minimum of context for people to at least know why this is controversial? If Trump's position on this is so soundly and clearly misguided, then it shouldn't be a problem at all to provide all facts and context to demonstrate as much. Instead we're given a single fact with zero other context.
