I’m glad to see that so many others are still missing the show and remain blown away by it. I’m still trying to get more people to watch it and this may help. Great job explaining PoI. Thank you.

Agreed. It used to be that more magazines fact checked but budget cuts have eliminated many fact checking departments and reduced the manpower of many others so a lot of fact checkers resort to spot checking instead of real fact checking.

The piece you quote is basically correct. I am a fact-checker. books are not fact-checked. newspapers are not fact-checked. *some* magazines and *some* websites are fact-checked.

this is not a fair comparison. the RAINN stat is how many rapists go to jail not how long a sentence a convicted rapist gets. two different stats. google searching tells me that the stats are old but a rapist on average will spend about 8 years in prison (a bit more than half of the sentence)
