Crime is a major issue in this year's election, yet major media ignored the release of a significant new government report showing a surge in violent crime.
The latest data released last Thursday from the Department of Justice's National Crime Victimization Survey reveal a sharp increase in violent crime under the Biden-Harris administration compared to when Trump left office.
During the debate, Mr. Muir noted: "President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country." But Mr. Muir would have been much more accurate if he said that the number of crimes reported to police fell, which isn't the same as total crime.
Since victims don't report most crimes, the NCVS was set up over fifty years ago to get a measure of total crime.
Since 2020, total serious violent crime, the categories that correspond to the FBI's measure of violent crime, has soared.
Much is made of the drop in murder rates over the past few years, but Americans sense that violent crime is on the rise.
Democrats have argued that the flood of illegal aliens can't be causing crime because crime is down.
The news media won’t report the shocking numbers. They know that Democratic narratives would blow up if word gets out that rape, robbery, and aggravated assault rates are 55% higher than in 2020 and far surpass the pre-COVID level.
