Media: Canada’s “mass graves” story collapsed
Several years ago, the world erupted in anger over allegations that perhaps 1000s of indigeneous children had died in Canadian schools and were buried in unmarked graves. The story turned out not to be true.
World Happiness Report Annual Nonsense
The annual World Happiness Report is released each spring and it’s still a completely bogus report on happiness. TL;DR: It’s absurd rankings do not measure anyone’s happiness.
Media: “Only 14 states where you can afford home on less than $75,000/year”

Propaganda: Poster illustrating growth in physicians versus administrators is flawed – Social Panic
I reviewed this bogus chart long ago. But it’s been making the rounds of social media once again – and the chart has been thoroughly debunked. Many MDs on Twitter are sharing this chart again – which demonstrates again that social media is primarily used to embarrass one’s self.

Every year, an activist/lobbying group issues a report saying people earning minimum wage cannot afford to rent an apartment anywhere in the country. They play a sleight-of-hand trick by obfuscating (and not revealing) that they are saying such individuals cannot rent an apartment priced at the 40th percentile. Stated another way, this report finds – every year – that people earning minimum wage can not rent apartments priced in the top 60 percent of the market – yet obviously, lower earners likely rent at the bottom of the market, not the top. Every year, the media morons run the same story, never understanding what this report says.
Fake news: “COVID-19, shootings: Is mass death now tolerated in America?”
Reporter asserts all Covid deaths in the U.S. were preventable. My pointing out that Covid was not controlled anywhere in the world (having accurate data collection and reporting), and my pointing out that 27 other countries had worse outcomes than the U.S. is “denying that the deaths were preventable”. Therefore, you are cautioned that my inconvenient questions and observations are official disinformation, as determined by the Associated Press. Also, remember Betteridge’s Law – any headline that ends in a question mark means the story is bull shit.
