Hi Gunnar,
I'll make this my final post on this.
I don't think there's anything to discuss, as I said in my first post.
You appear to concede now that there's nothing much of substance to criticise, though you can't quite shake the feeling that something's somehow dodgy about IBC, which is quite conceivably related to a certain smear campaign, and the fearless seekers of talking points who ran it.
If you'd worked in a newsroom, and seen how much of the news is drawn from newswires (or how much of the foreign footage on TV comes from Reuters and AP), you wouldn't expect a wider range of sources to be cited.
But even if you do, they aren't, for the very good reason that it's irrelevant.
Either deaths are reported or they aren't. Most aren't. But if they're being reported somewhere, and IBC isn't tallying those numbers, that's a point worth making.
But you aren't making it.
And nor is anyone else.
QED.
