Remember than many of the "body count" numbers from Stalin regime and WW2 camps were coming from the New York Times. I suspect they were all manipulated in some way. Just look at what the New York Times did to both the 1918 Spanish Flu "pandemic deaths" and the 2020-2022 Covid-19 "pandemic deaths" to get 2 additional examples of how they use "experts" to put out completely false or inflated numbers.
They truly are remarkably good and using statistics and numbers for the basis of a lot of their bullshit propaganda.
They do this because once they put it in print as "facts", they then try to use those "facts" in court cases and with NGOs and Quasi-gov't agencies like the UN to then create "policies" based on their false "facts". I call it propaganda circle-jerking.
