Leaving aside the fact that they call activist Discovery Institute fellow a "journalist" (he is not), KIRO connects facts in ways that are not supported by reality: A woman was attacked; the perpetrator was homeless; therefore (they suggest) homeless men are more likely to rape.

Erica, with all due respect: I'm a contributing editor at City Journal, you write a personal blog and beg for money on Patreon. I know you once worked as a journalist for The Stranger (and then fired), but that doesn't make you the arbiter of who is a journalist and who isn't.
