10% of nothing... is well... 10% of nothing. I exaggerate, but only slightly.

Excuse me for interrupting your fantasy ... but there are about 10,000 homeless in AZ. 10,000 is “slightly more than nothing”?

The Bay Area, Washington state and AZ each have about the same total populations ... between 7 and 7.5 million residents. AZ homeless is about ½ the rate of Bay Area’s and Washington’s. But, considering those two are among the very top 5 of the nation’s worst I think you need to recalibrate your definition of “slightly more than nothing.”

Glad you pointed out the key word "history", as in ancient history. The current Washington Post is an embarrassment to all journalism and is basically the left's analogue to Breitbart News

I thought that was you I saw out there counting homeless yesterday.
You can throw out your choice of statistics, but just by direct observation, the homeless rate is vastly less than LA/SD/SF.

Laughable comparison. Even you don’t believe what you just wrote.

The WaPo is, and has been for a very long time, rated as “Left-Center” editorially. Investigative news reporting remains excellent. The fact they choose left-center issues to focus on means their news coverages are quantifiably skewed while their own editorial opinion is left-center ... but that doesn’t change the integrity of the reporting of those issues ... just the amount of coverage devoted to them in relation to issues the conservative leaning media want covered.

WaPo is approximately tied with NBC for trustworthiness and fairness of coverage. It ranks pretty well on scale where Breitbart (and FOX) rank as the most extreme right of all media. Not even close.

Here is a media bias summary from a neutral source:

Now, do you have more to contribute on topic, or not?

Guess why “direct observation” by anonymous ideologues isn’t considered acceptable by science.

No it's right on point, the current Washington Post owned by Jeff Bezos has no objectivity and is militantly anti-Trump to the exclusion of any inconvenient facts that don't support their campaign. Just one of many:

I work in high tech, and let me tell you, engineers who work in the abstract and are convinced by their quantitative analysis, are so far away from reality when the technology hits the real world. A little 'direct observation' goes a long, long way.

“Biased ostriches”? Lmao. Perfect self-portrait veritased!

Again, “direct observation” by ideologically biased ostriches is not acceptable by ANY science or policy study professionals. You’ve just laid another giant egg.

Lmfao. Blake, you just linked an ‘opinion commentary’ piece to justify your bias? Too funny.

Get back on topic bub.
