Joel and his 'Facts'

This is one of the major problems with media today. Their ability to throw out all kinds of 'facts' that are backed up by 'experts' and 'research'. If you are going to use statistics you should cite it. if not, it is worthless. A study put together by a Washington think tank shows that 73 percent of un-cited statistics are incorrect.
