But, But, Fox News Says...

I saw this headline and it seems to be going against everything that Fox News wants us to believe.

The article goes on to say:

Crime, including serious violent incidents like murder and rape, dropped nationally from 2022 to 2023, according to new data released by the FBI on Monday.

Violent crime was down about 3% from 2022 to 2023 and property crime took a similar drop of 2.4%, the FBI reported in its annual “Summary of Crime in the Nation.” The most serious crimes went down significantly: Murder and non-negligent manslaughter were down an estimated 11.6% — the largest single year decline in two decades — while rape decreased by an estimated 9.4%.

Journalists should study the numbers and when a politician brings up crime and claims it is out of control, reply back with facts.

It’s about keeping politicians from making false claims. You are the person looking out for the viewers.

Stop posting TikToks and study the facts. That’s how you become a good Journalist.
