Yes its very simple if you have the brass neck to assume a default position that twenty sources is as good as ninety and demand proof that it isn’t. (Finding a few unreported deaths wouldn’t establish major discrepancy. A big study and knowledge of Arabic would be required). That is what has caused the tedium, which admittedly your insults have alleviated somewhat.
Actually I’ve just noticed that IBC don’t read sources in Arabic! I’m always the last to be told anything around here (sniff). This cranks up the unlikeliness of your contention, which then becomes something like this:
“Most deaths reported in local Arabic media are translated into English and then reproduced in the western media.”
With such faith in the media, no wonder you have become so anti-ML.
Oh and criticism that value is being oversold is not a smear. Tsk.
Over and out this time. Cheers.
