Ergo, school shootings never happen.

Ergo, school shootings never happen. I opened the article and was surprised it was from NPR. Unfortunately this is so out of date as it covers the years 2015 and 2016, but I was shocked how many reported school shootings were not true....... I consider NPR a reliable source so it was surprising to me.

I am delighted that there may have been fewer school shootings than reported. One shooting is still far too many.

It is very unfortunate. Gathering data can be tricky, and it sounds like this was messed up at multiple levels.

Sound like the media trying to make a big story, Fake news From your link: This spring the U.S. Education Department reported that in the 2015-2016 school year, "nearly 240 schools ... reported at least 1 incident involving a school-related shooting." The number is far higher than most other estimates. How is this "the media"?

Now I have to go back and read it I thought NPR used several sources, maybe that was from another article.

More people died at the Bowling Green Massacre than all the Northern yankees and Southern rebels who died in the American Civil War.

Only one of those is a media source and it does not seem to rely on the source in the OP.

NPR is not part of the news media,, they are a division of the DNC!
