Hope you're having a delightful Obamacare Deadline Day, what with the website partially borked * due to high traffic, and Rick Santorum assuring us no one's going to actually pay for their new plans, and the actually encouraging news that about 9.5 million previously uninsured people
The typical Faux viewer is not as smart as a 7th grader. You can be sure that very, very few of them noticed the bullshit scaling, and that virtually all of them think Obamacare is an abject failure.
According to my local teabagging Fucks Gnus victim, the numbers are misleading, because of sick people. Anybody know what wingnut nonsense that's supposed to be about?
Sometimes, patterns or relative values are hard to see when you chart data from zero on the vertical axis. With only two bars on the chart, however, <i>nothing is illustrated by slicing off the lower portions.</i>
The only purpose you could possibly have is to blatantly lie. Which is just what Fucks Gnus is doing here. Jon Stewart will get a good face-palming moment out of it, but the teabaggers and RWNJs who lap this shit up will remain ignorant.
This chart reminded me of sixth grade. We had an assignment to prepare and deliver a misleading advertisement, with visual aids. I can no longer remember what I was comparing, but I thought I was clever as hell to use bar graphs with no labels on the y-axis, and also to put the base of the graph well up from the y-origin.
Actually, it went over rather well. The teacher saw what I did, and many of my classmates swallowed the idea whole.
Now that I think of it, I suppose that means a lot of my contemporaries are now taking Fox News seriously.
Length times Girth over Angle of the Shaft (aka YAW) divided by mass over WIDTH....

In this case, not as well as lies and damned lies.

With a nasty memo from Ailes in between.

Karl Rove would be proud

Figures don&#039;t lie, but liars figure.
FOX would disdain a cure for cancer if it came from the Obama administration.
