You used the chart to indicate that the folks at Fox news are idiots and cater to the same. I used two examples of where the "leader of the free world" and his designated coat holder can make ridiculous errors as well, thereby insinuating they are not as bright as one might hope (okay, we all know that the VP is as sharp as cream cheese). Pot vs kettle. Two offsetting examples of generalizing.
Not really...making an error is one thing, and something we can both admit that all people are prone to from time to time...but that's not really what I was getting at with the Fox graph.
That's a prime example of what I guess is the worst aspect of any biased news outlet (not solely limited to Fox)...presenting information inaccurately to spin the viewer or reader's perception into thinking it means something other than it does.
Computer generated graphs don't get messed up like that by accident
You could provide an example of a left wing media outlet doing some similary shady stuff, and
that would be a good offsetting example. But we see so much of that already in political discourse these days don't we? "X person/side did this" "But Y person/side did that!" and the mud slinging goes on and on, distracting the voting population from the simple fact that they don't really have any influence at all
At least we agree that governments are the like the dragon eating his own tail; self-consuming beasts. Amoral, if not immoral and completely inefficient at anything beyond wasting resources and the public's trust.
