It's one of those liberal things where the goal is so important, lies and deception are justified if they support that goal.
Remember the guy - Bellisiles? - who won a Bancroft laward for publishing a "study" that showed people hundreds of years ago didn't own many guns? He cited data from (for example) property records in San Francisco during the 1800's . . . even though they were all destroyed in the fires after the big earthquake in 1906!
People took note of other falsifications, the work was thoroughly discredited, and for the first time in history the Bancroft award was rescinded . . . but liberals STILL try to cite his work!
