What's Wrong With This Fox "News" Picher?

[Shadowrider]

Jeezus, folks. Simple math says that the graphic shows that the enrollment is about 85% of the target, but the visual implies about a 25% enrollment. Fox is lying, as is typical for those right wing tools.,,Geez!

Dude, a graphic artist made that up. You are reading wayyyy too much into the art. If anybody is out right lying you can count on it being those in the White House. Jeeze...

Lots of people have signed up. The real issue is how many have paid for their premiums?

If the white house figures reflected those that had paid, they would have fireworks going off over the capitol buildings.

Since there are crickets making little noise, they are hiding the actual numbers, AKA cooking the books as they do everything else.

And according to the LA Times today, it may be weeks before we know how many got in by the end of today. What a crock of ****, O'JugEars will have that on his desk in the morning.

Cool thing about propaganda. ....It works.

This is the same Fox that had electoral vote calculator experts telling America that Romney would win a landslide electoral vote.
Dick Morris, Karl Rove, Charles Krauthammer, Ed Rollins, Colorado University Prediction Model, ........ on and on

They must not have anyone on staff over there who ever took Statistics 101 in college.




Fox "News": We calculate, You scratch your heads.

Morning Joe "From the well trusted MSNBC" said that that many of these people are those who lost the healthcare that they had and had to sign up and that these people were still counted as "new".


I thought they could all keep the plan they had?

False alarm, nothing to see here.

You've distilled the essence of Fox news (and so many other news outlets) in six words. Fantastic work.

There's a famous book that includes what you see in the graphic: https://archive.org/details/HowToLieWithStatistics

As someone else noted, what you see is the top of the chart. Cutting off the bottom sends the message that performance is much worse than it actually is. I have noticed that if distortion supports someone's agenda, it's a lot easier to excuse than if it supports someone else's agenda.

I don't think I'm reading too much into this. I think it is a deliberate effort to distort perceptions.

So what you're saying is that it's wrong to take someone else's propaganda and repurpose it to discredit said propaganda?
