NPR spreads VA lies about elderly veteran suicide


“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.
