Here is a very legit bar graph that was constructed in a way to deceive:

The people who will be influenced by this probably don't know how to read a graph but can only see one bar is much bigger than the other one.

Its got what plants crave.

If the lamestream media wasn't in the tank for Obama they'd show the public graphs like that.

Props to Fox:thumbsup:

Well, the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" is only true because many people don't like thinking too hard. Not because it's actually true. :yeshrug:

:snooze:

Could do the same thread on any of the major news networks. They all lie and misrepresent. You just happen to be a lefty so you wanna point it out on fox.


Nothing to see here.

It's a negative feedback loop. They feed the people both what they expect and what will keep them expecting it. It's less an intellectual procedure of any kind and more like a drug fix that confirms their prejudices and keeps their fears ordered properly.

Once again...I cannot understand how people try to bunch MSNBC and CNN in with FOXNews.

Yes. They are both biased. Yes, they all have political agendas based on ratings.

One is CLEARLY misrepresenting facts in a faaaaaaaaarr more extreme manner than the other. It's like calling someone who opens mail from the USPS that isn't theirs (this is a felony) the same as a person who murdered a school bus of children.

I think one is a Federal Offense and the other generally State.
