We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

How terrible.
By lying. Forgot that part.
How are people supposed to trust studies when stuff like this happens? It erodes trust when studies lie.
By reading the study and not relying on someone's interpretation of it.
As I wrote my dissertation, one fascinating thing was when you followed citations back to their source. Often they did not claim what was said. I am not talking about different interpretations, I am talking about the citation that didn't even remotely resemble what was cited. I would say it was well over 30% of the citations.
As such not only reading the study but following the cites back as well.
