The MSM is one pillar of the liberal establishment that has run out of credibility. Another is the Deep State’s FBI.
Remember the phony FBI stats ABC propagandist David Muir used to mendaciously “fact check” Trump during a debate?
The “revised” FBI data now says crime is up. Here is Trump being “factchecked” by ABC News on the FBI data that has now been to be wrong. Trump was right. Again. pic.twitter.com/XeY2p7bRum

These stats have been quietly revised:
When the FBI originally released the “final” crime data for 2022 in September 2023, it reported that the nation’s violent crime rate fell by 2.1%. This quickly became, and remains, a Democratic Party talking point to counter Donald Trump’s claims of soaring crime.
But the FBI has quietly revised those numbers, releasing new data that shows violent crime increased in 2022 by 4.5%. The new data includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults.
The Bureau – which has been at the center of partisan storms – made no mention of these revisions in its September 2024 press release.
If CBS News is Pravda, the FBI is the KGB.
