Oh I'm sure that's accurate, as I doubt he cares what the real statistics are. If he gets a number that sounds bad, it's probably true as far as he's concerned. The idea of a legitimate investigation into horse racing is just not gonna cross anybody's desk at the NY Times. When they run with the inevitable things that Joe Drape puts out, it causes people to circle the wagons when really we ought to both be on the same side, rooting out the problems. If they made less of a mess of things from a "journalistic" standpoint, making almost everyone look like villains, we might actually be able to get somewhere with transparency in the media.
