If it's not being reported then how do you know that, rothschild? The fact is that gun violence is the leading cause of death of young people. Just because you don't agree with that doesn't mean it isn't true.

Fact checking is fact checking whether it comes from someplace you approve of or some place you find fault with.

I didn't say I "know", I said if I had to guess it would be medicine, and for the record, medical care is one of the leading causes of death overall 

Fact-checking is something you do -- or don't do -- it isn't a service that's provided to people. 

Hahaha! 

Mirah's data is verifiable and the numbers she posted are correct.  And yet, both of you are wrong in your positions . . . while using her data!  

Duchess . . . Gun Violence is not the leading cause of death, for young people.  Again, from Mirah's data.

Rothschild . . . guess you didn't "fact check", too.  Again, from Mirah's data . . . Neither Gun Violence or Medical Care is the leading cause of death, for young people.

Lose the talking points and cite facts . . . lazy bastards!

What's your standard for "verified"? GDP and inflation are both misreported, as a rule. Remember the pro forma accounting scandal back when Enron went bust? Remember the eye-popping corporate writedowns? I do.

Misreporting is commonplace. That doesn't mean all reported data is necessarily fraudulent, but it does mean that there's a high probability that it is in any particular instance, because that's the world we live in.
