The more I think about it - the more annoyed I am at US News didn't also turn the data into visual info like at least put it by county on a map. The American media is so fucking lazy.
Yesterday I saw some tweets but I didn't learn more about it - that Columbia University simply lied to a site (or an organization?) to pump up their numbers so they'd be far higher in a college ranking. Nobody thought "This data is very, very strange. Why? How could they jump so many places? We should investigate." Instead they just published that shit without questioning it. And now the WaPo is doing dictation and mentioning the unis regret for ‘deficiencies’.
Note to self: I really need to spend far less than 95+% of my time on the net looking for yet more shiny objects. I need to stop and read more. And I'll read that article right n— Oh, cat video!
