Journalism – AP and Reuters style

Cuban dictatorship arrests refugees trying to escape on a raft, Reuters reports they were ‘rescued.’

“…neither the AP nor Reuters made a single mention of a similar but much more deadly incident that took place in Bahia Honda in October. Less than two months ago, the Cuban Coast Guard rammed a boat filled with Cuban refugees escaping the island in Bahia Honda, sinking the vessel and killing 7 refugees, including a 2-year-old toddler. That incident has come to known as the Bahia Honda Massacre. But reporters for both the AP and Reuters know that if they mention this in their reporting, their press credentials will be removed, and they’ll get kicked off the island.”…”

Biden’s revolving door border sees illegal migrants cross Rio Grande into Texas, just HOURS after being bussed out of US and back into Mexico with police escort

    • Hundreds of migrants were filmed crossing illegally into El Paso, Texas from Ciudad Juárez, Mexico on Sunday night
    • It had been a busy weekend for CBP officials with reports by El Paso sector of more than 2,600 crossings in the 24 hours between Friday and Saturday
    • Ahead of the mass crossing, Mexican police brought 20 buses full of migrants back across the border into Ciudad Juarez, the city across from El Paso
    • It’s thought many of those who were brought back into Mexico simply repeated the journey in crossing the Rio Grande river which separates the two cities

THE DATA TELL A DIFFERENT STORY

“…The increase in gun homicides documented in the Emory University study is attributable almost exclusively to one factor: a nearly 60 percent increase in homicide fatalities among black men. Not over a period of many years–but in a little over one year.

And what year was that? 2020. And what happened in 2020? The death of George Floyd, and the subsequent revelation that black lives especially matter.

Yes, but not in the way intended. Not by a long shot. That death and revelation brought in its train myriad consequences. Defund the police. The war on cash bail and the release of numerous criminals. The demoralization of police, who were instructed explicitly and implicitly that arresting black male offenders was a career risk, and the subsequent surrender of the streets to the thugs. And on and on. (The release of many from jail because of COVID didn’t help either.)

This is as close to a natural experiment as can exist in social science. An exogenous shock–the death of one man–leads to a tectonic shift in law enforcement, especially with regards to a particular demographic. The result?: a hyperbolic increase in homicide rates in that demographic. (I note that the previous uptick observable in the chart in 2014 corresponds to the proto-Floyd event, the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, which was the catalyst for Black Lives Matter.)

This is as close to a definitive proof of causation as is possible in observational social science…”
