The fact that literally zero outlets ever cover crime decline as a story is a huge reason. (And before you yell at me, we do!)
the nuance is lack of data or reporting to given database. thus creating an illusion of a decline. the media biz already works as to touting or burying various crime stories depending on whether it suits their political agenda. MSNBC does it every day. also using 2020 as a baseline...

is flawed anyways. where liberal policies created environments where crime skyrocketed...then trying to count any declines after that as success is dubious.
