MODERATORS
I dont trust this article.
The author of this article is also a co-author of the other popular info article that keeps being cited.
The popular info article cites this website as the proof for the crime in the area. The headline on this says that it doesn't guarantee accuracy and that it requires a police to be involved. I would hazard that most of the theft dont involve police and probably unreported.
If you have ever lived in the area, you would know that nobody reports small crimes. Its hard to even find an article on this.
Popular Info is pretty credible. Very popular email newsletter.
Mediabias/Factcheck rates them as "strongly biased" just saying
That what happens when you write things that challenge the power structure.
On the other hand, Judd Legum always cites his sources and doesn't hide anything.
Mr Blott said "Mediabias Factcheck rates them!"
^ Me being cited as a source
Fair point but I don't know you. Trusted sources cite themselves all the time. I trust Popular Info, but then I did not learn of Judd Legum for the first time yesterday. He's a lot like Nate Silver. Very well respected in some circles, hated in others.
