What is the name of this fallacy?From here:
He then lists several assults and ends with:
And yet he doesn't show that they form a majority of bathroom rapes, nor who is more statistically likely to do a rape. Or you know find out if causation is the same a correlation. Is there a term for all this? |

In addition to cherry picking, I'd suggest this could fall under overextended outrage. Note that in your quotes the author does not suggest that assaults by transgender individuals make up the majority of bathroom rapes (unless I've misread something), but he does seem to suggest the numbers are significant and trending up, only to be ignored by the mainstream press and academia. |

The term would be called propaganda. The fallacies cherry picking , lying with statistics , appeal to ridicule , scapegoating , poisoning the well etc. PJ Media is a far right propaganda source that is just telling its audience what it wants to hear for $. Here is the report on PJ Media: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/pj-media/ "Overall, we rate PJ Media to be Questionable based on extreme right-wing bias, promotion of propaganda and conspiracies, as well as numerous failed fact checks.
