MiniMike's $10 Million Ad Lie

Well, yes, it's an ad buy.  But it's a two-fer!!  It's also a lie.

Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg's $10 million Super Bowl commercial includes a misleading statistics on violent gun deaths among children...

...A recent report by Everytown for Gun Safety arrived at the 2,900 figure by including teenagers 18 and over in its calculation. 

Bloomberg's ad implies the statistic only includes young children, but when the Washington Free Beacon's Stephen Gutowski removed the young adults from the calculation, the total number was cut by nearly half....

50% here, 50% there, who cares??  It's just a number, and numbers are there to be tortured and manipulated.  It's the (D) Way, man.
