Does anyone find an irony in the double-speak of the meta narrative of the media and chattering classes?

First of all, Mr Day is hacked to pieces because he referenced a **survey** done several years ago that indicated there might be a slight up tick in unreported crime. It is probably valid to criticize him given long term downward trends also noted by similar surveys over the past 10 years. It was a Stats Can **Survey (s)** that was taken as a given to be accurate and authoritative.

Secondly, the census cannot be accurate or authoritative if it is a voluntary **survey**.

Anyone get that?
