“So I took a look at the actual data. And I promptly
got rather . . . disgusted. As well as angry.
“It always disgusts and
angers me when I’ve been lied to. It doesn’t matter whether the lie was
deliberate or was due to gross negligence, incompetence, or ignorance. I
won’t speculate on the reason for this whopper.”
Most news organizations will do just what NPR did, go with
speechifying put out by VA flaks, without checking anything. I don’t know why
VA wants to paint veterans as suicide-prone. Of course, that label goes along
with much media hype about the dangerous PTSD veteran.
