You are talking about convenience. Don't lose site of the fact that
the cnversation was about reliability of data.
I was challenged on the information as to whether it was correct
that 90% of journalists gave to Dems.
After being challenged, I posted their names, employers and to whom
they gave. You can't get more specific than that.
I still haven't seen the guy that challenged me say that I was
right. Instead he moved the conversation to internet etiquette
about posting links versus the actual data.
He was wrong so he changed the subject.
I'd wait forever if I was to wait for him to say my facts were right.
He won't so I've moved on.
