    FiveThirtyEight editor Nate Silver said the mainstream media is not giving proper context to stories on the rise of coronavirus cases, which he calls a “basic error” that reveals an agenda to prioritize narratives that “sound smart” over accuracy and truth.

    Silver was bothered that certain stories failed to mention that some growth in the coronavirus infection number is a result of an increase in testing.

    “Not providing context on the increase in testing is such a basic error, and has been so widespread, that it's revealing about the media's goals. It's more interested in telling plausibly-true stories ("narratives") that sound smart to its audience than in accuracy/truth per se,” Silver said in response to author James Surowiecki calling out recent reports from Axios and The New York Times.

      The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Attorney General William Barr did "exactly the right thing" in dropping charges against former Trump administration national security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn because there was never a crime committed, Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz asserted Friday.

      Flynn was exonerated by the DOJ on Thursday afternoon. The action comes even though prosecutors for the past three years have maintained that Flynn lied to the FBI in a January 2017 interview about his conversations with the Russian ambassador and following Flynn's own guilty plea.

      In a phone interview on the "Brian Kilmeade Show," Dershowitz said he feels that Barr probably cleared Flynn too late.

      "In December of 2018, I wrote an op-ed piece saying there was no crime. Why? Because what he said -- what Flynn said -- was not material to the investigation for two reasons," he explained.

      "Number one: the FBI already knew what the truth was," Dershowitz remarked. "They had him on tape. They had recorded him. talking to the ambassador [and] then they asked him, 'Did you talk to the ambassador?' They weren't looking for information. They were looking to spring a perjury trap."

      Secondly, Dershowitz noted, newly released documents show FBI leaders including former Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe were looking into the Logan Act.

      "They were investigating the Logan Act. Do you know what the Logan Act is? It was passed in the 18th century and it said private citizens can't negotiate with other governments," he stated.

      Republicans call for investigation into Flynn probe, Democrats want to hear from BarrVideo
      "[Do] you know how many of our people have negotiated with other governments from Jimmy Carter when he told Yasser Arafat not to accept the Clinton peace deal to Jesse Jackson to [Dennis] Rodman the basketball player?" Dershowitz incredulously asked. "Nobody has been prosecuted under the Logan Act since 1803 and that prosecution failed and there's never been a successful prosecution. So, the entire enterprise was flawed.

      "I called for the Justice Department to do this a year-and-a-half ago and they did absolutely the right thing," he told Brian Kilmeade. "Every civil libertarian should be rejoicing."

      Dershowitz lamented that the case has become a "right-left issue" when the real issue is civil liberty.

      "But, every civil libertarian right or left should say, 'Finally, somebody is holding the government to what its proper role is' which is to get evidence of past crimes, not to create future crimes," he concluded.

        Previous Trump estimates:
        Feb 26: 15 cases down to almost 0
        April 20: 50K-60K deaths
        April 29: 60K-70K deaths
        May 3: 75K-100K deaths
        Earlier today: 100K or 110K deaths

        So cons ...when does the “trutherism” kick in. Post 90k? Post 100k? Post 110k?

        You can’t be a Truther while your leaders cops to #’s like ^^^^.

        What do your talking points say?
        idk? do you? (or perhaps you simply have to sit wait until cnn/cbs tells what they want you to think?) I guess we will see on November 4th....see you then slave.

          Lol. I have offered Nate some comments under my own name in social media. He should stick to baseball where he doesn’t have to contend with issues like “sampling error.” Lol

          Cons are just desperate for support so they turn to a sports statistician for help....same one who was WRONG about the 2016 election, as the cons themselves always point out

          Too fricking funny but I guess they are desperate !

          Second Pence staffer positive ....new wife of Stephen Miller? Trump let first name slip.

            So you don’t even want to answer in whether you believe those #’s? Your Lord Trump hasn’t balked yet .....but I guess I accurately picked up on your “tell” move toward Trutherism and now you are out of sorts about it

            EXCELLENT!

            I smell a budding COVID-19 truther here.....

            On a sober note, 😢😢😢 around 77,000 USA deaths 😢😢😢😢😢. Never forget those we have lost. I will fly my flag at half mast until the crisis is over.

              LOL. So true. I much prefer to get all my relevant information from biased blowhards out to spout their own agenda all day relentlessly following their orders for the day vs. someone who actually lives statistics.

                Libby is Triggered with a lot of time on his hands...perhaps all he needs is to get laid for once...what a loser, can't wait to see him on these boards on Nov. 4th.

                  Lol .....Alan Dershowitz ....Nate Silver .....Lol

                  You guys keep swinging but maybe it would be better to help people through the next couple months while the man in charge figures out how to fix it ....maybe Donnie should start by calling Moon Jae-in and ask him for advice given the outstanding job S Korea has done given the following :



                  New poll

                  Opening nation now :

                  Not worth it 64%

                  Worth it 34%

                  2:1

                    Lol projecting again ....that was a looooong post about dersh there btw ....didn’t read once I saw Dershowitz. Doubt many will.

                    The only thing I “am” right now is righteously rubbing your degenerate death cult sniffing nose in your own fetid 💩

                    Good luck con. Good luck. There is no precedent for a president winning re-election with something on order of 200,000 dead over 7 months when fewer could have died with less damage to economy if he “performed “ as well as other leaders.

                    So he’s a loser.

                        “Lives” statistics ?

                        Epidemiologists don’t both “live” statistics and knowledge of communicable disease ? You find them unsatisfactory and think someone who started out in sports and only recently moved to politics is the person to get behind on his maiden voyage on virology?

                        Ok sure.

                        Riddle me this. Nate said HRC was the overwhelming favorite to win the election in 2016 and cons have been gloating about HOW wrong he and others were. So please explain your defiant love of Nate’s takes today .....

                        Wouldn’t be serving your political agenda would it ?

                                “I am pleading guilty because I am, in fact, guilty.”

                                -Michael Flynn, Nov 30, 2017


                                So cons tell us why we should not believe our lyin’ eyes and ears.

                                Is it because a three star general and former head of defense intelligence and trumps choice for his foreign policy stud was so weak he shat his pants answering a couple questions ? Is that the excuse ?
