[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's the evidence that the daily caller article does not use actual numbers
 They counted a thousand cars, rosniak said it was the hardest he'd ever worked, but they don't actually provide a number of cars with MD plates, vs VA plates, vs DC plates. Nor do they mention, specifically, which schools they polled, except for excel. They also do not mention a specific time period, although I think at one point they wave their hands and say "months." [b]They worked on this for months, people. It was like, hard and stuff.[/b]

I have to assume the daily caller fact checker is actually more of a libel expert.[b] I can imagine him or her going through their article with  red pen and saying , "you have to be more vague because that wasn't legal; or verifiable. But if you want to imply that this woman might still live in Maryland..." etc.[/b]

Rosniak and Watson mention, vaguely, "some other schools." They mention others "along the borders." They mention one specific family, but fail to prove where the woman actually lives in 2016. Instead they rely entirely on unfounded and vague accusations.

Look, I'm not the poster with a journalism degree who said this is bad journalism. It just so obviously is. Then there's the lovely part where they assume that all Maryland plates are evidence of cheating, and that anyone who doesn't talk to them is obviously guilty. Can anyone who had bothered to Google rosniak, a man with the charm and face of a hamster, honestly say they'd respond well to his interrogatory techniques after he trailed them--or their babysitter? Do you think Watson has more charm? Generally speaking, when someone follows you in their car, pulls up behind you and demands your address, how do you respond?

And finally, when confronted with their lack of factual evidence, these Yahoos or their sock puppet interns come up with the same gems over and over again: it's true! Anyone who disagrees is a cheater! This is costing the taxpayers.

Even Byron and cindy, were i writing them and making all of the facts up completely from scratch, could come up with more convincing ones to "prove" the same points.
