Ever hear of the Judenzählung?
During WWI antisemitic elements were “concerned” that Jews weren’t doing their bit for Germany, so the German command were “concerned” enough they did a “Jew census,” which found that most Jews in the military were right in the front lines, but that wasn’t what they *wanted* to hear, so they sat on the data, which played a little into what happened to German Jews a bit later.
Anyway I was just thinking about it as far as how media treats a batch of discussions.
