Man, that garbage 71% statistic is getting everywhere. The ADL report specifically notes that non-'far-right' extremist killings are probably undercounted by their methodology. Furthermore, the definition of 'extremist killings' used is absurd and misleading.https://twitter.com/NYTmag/status/1058736230874181632 …

What possible incentive could the ADL have to exaggerate here?!

The ADL report is less bad than the takeaway all the bluechecks got from it. But that's part of the game, I guess.

Apparently the ADL press released helped to stoke the fire. Though of course members of the media each have joint and several liability for not doing their jobs.

Yeah, distill away the hedging and you get something much worse. Figure 3 in part 2 of the report (source of the 71%) is so much worse than the rest, so of course that's what everyone lifted.
