The FBI revised its 2022 crime data to show that violent crime rose by 4.5% in 2022. The figure stands in contrast to the “final” figure the FBI reported in September 2023, which showed it fell by 2.1%.

AllSides did not find coverage from the left. Thread 🧵 The change was reported by @RCPolitics (Center), which said it “discovered the change through a cryptic reference on the FBI website that states: ‘The 2022 violent crime rate has been updated for inclusion in CIUS, 2023.’”

NEW: Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is misrepresenting news articles in Google search, making them appear like endorsements, AllSides has found.
