That’s an interesting angle. Sounds as if “evidence stacking” is an inappropriate activity; but isn’t evidence stacking just what journalists like Flaherty are to do?
Everyone would like to get statistical data about the Knockout Game; but for collecting statistical data you need either state offices or scientists – and you must 1. get them interested and 2. make them believe that they won’t destroy their career opportunities by choosing such a “rightwing” problem. (You wouldn’t perhaps admit that liberals like Noble try to stigmatize the Knckout Game as a rightwing myth JUST IN ORDER to intimidate scientists from researching it.)
