Jaysongate squared

When the Times is done obsessing about a guy who made up details, will they start worrying about reporters who invent issues — like the claimed increase in “rampage killings” — out of whole cloth? Somehow I doubt it. One benefit of worrying about trees is that it enables you to ignore the forest.

That article was by John Lott (aka Mary Rosh). He’s hardly in a position to complain about a “pattern of deceit”.

I’ve looked further into this matter and the person doing the inventing is Lott. Details are at http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~lambert/guns/lott98update4.html#2003-05-31
