Lying about and with Statistics and the Attack on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and independent news

We discuss Trump's attack on the Bureau of Labor Statistics and its real consequences. We discuss the defunding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting as part of a larger attempt to control the content of news. We also ponder the Texas redistricting scandal and the war between the Governors of Texas, California, and New York on non-Census redistricting of congressional districts.
