From the article: "But the studies and datasets available—largely compiled by researchers whom sceptical conservatives would probably dismiss as biased—suggest that the killing of Mr Kirk is not representative of broader trends."
Another "do not believe what you see" whitewash. Also, odd that The Economist would misspell "skeptical.".
Why would anybody read 'opinions' of The Economist? It has degenerated into a shill publication of The City of London and Fleet Street (located in the City of London).
Quoting the BBC, the Daily Mail, the Economist etc. is like the WSJ, the NYT, NPR, PBS and the Washington Post. All radical left captured baloney factories.
Won't call them 'far left' any more, they are radical left propaganda organs.
Didn't read because Paywall ... Thoughts?
