Forbes recently released an article covering the top ten most stressful cities in the country and in a revolutionary new approach to this “journalism stuff”, decided to base their facts solely on the apparent opinions of the writer.  Following in the footsteps of such visionaries as Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity (and his partner Puffy Combs), Rush Limbaugh, Randi Rhodes, and Ed Schultz, Author Desmond has created the following, interesting “facts”:

  • San Francisco has a population of 7.2 million (which is up substantially from 2006′s count of 744,041)
  • Detroit has the highest unemployment rate in the country (according to this report, it is ranked 13th)
  • Los Angeles is the most polluted city in the country (it’s actually number 2, it was replaced in May by Pittsburgh)
  • Chicago is the second most densely populated US city (according to this report of global population densities, it ranks 126th globally, with 9 US cities ranked well above it)
  • New York is the most densely populated US city (same report, it ranks 4th in the US)

This covers the “facts” of the top five; for 6 and beyond they actually do use terms like “in our ranking” (italics added), which is at least accurate, if not relatively useless information.
