Do you actually think this is an intentionally "misleading" chart? One of MY pet peeves are people NOT in the reporting business unable to accept that minor errors DO occur on the way to press when on deadline. Cutting corners? Please. It happens to the best of reporters/editors/graphics people.



Or, rewritten without the tone:

"> While not intentionally misleading, this chart is pretty sloppy

I agree, I don't think this chart is intentionally misleading. From my experience, minor errors do happen, even to the best of reporters/editors/graphics people. Sometimes a chart with known problems will be pushed out for the sake of a deadline, just as it would in software."
