Fox News Senior Medical Analyst Marc Siegel made some eyebrow-raising comments lamenting that birth rates are down among teenagers aged 15 to 19.
On Thursday, the National Center for Health Statistics reported that the U.S. fertility rate fell to another record low. The agency reported that the number of births per 1,000 women of childbearing age declined from 53.8 in 2024 to 53.1 last year. The latest figure represents a continuation of a decades-long decline in fertility rates.
Siegel joined Friday’s edition of America’s Newsroom, where Dana Perino said that while the continuing trend is not surprising, “the numbers might feel a little shocking.”
The media spin machine works on both sides.
Capitalism needs to constantly be fed, or the entity dies (reporter, newsroom, media company, etc.).
Unfortunately, it often turns to more unethical means to accomplish its goals - even here on the Threadiverse.
Just imagine why so many people vote conservative: they listen to false reporting, and after digging in GREAT depth, find out that the left has lied. Until they learn that the right ALSO lies, they are vulnerable… and also quite justified in their claims that the other side has lied to them. It’s juvenile stuff, which somehow also predates humanity itself.
The spin-masters have harnessed this natural law and turned it to their own gain.
