If you're implying it should be more of a straight line, I agree.   :cheers:

i'm saying it should be an actual y axis. though their market (you) probably doesn't know what a y axis is or why this is hilarious.

Go ahead and plot it out and you will find that should be more of a straight line, which is what I was saying. Those that can read numbers will know the line is not accurate.  :rolleyes:

Your comment is irrelevant to the fact that Fox is distorting their data/information.

If you're going to be picky about it, though, the plot would not be a line perpindicular to the y axis.  For that, the values for y would be the same, such as 9.0, 9.0,  ... , 9.0.  But I don't see how this plot favors one side or the other any more than an accurate plot would.  Seems like fair and balanced sloppiness.

It's hilarious you guys are worried about fox's accuracy plotting points when the real problem is the actual data.  The unemployment numbers are complete  :bs:

The real problem is the final point, 8.6%. This should be the lowest point on the graph, but it would make Obama look good if the graph had a downward trend, so they just put it on a point horizontal from the previous point, 9.0%.

Yeah, dropping to a new low of 8.6, as we head into the holidays, would make Obama look great! The graph is a funny mistake, but the real numbers are just sad.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

Look at where 8.6 would fall on that Y-axis and notice how sharp that decline should be.

I find the left's Fox news obsession to be fascinating.  I mean, there are so many obvious left pointing news organizations, but Fox being right just makes them crazy.  Very odd.

No, what's funny is stating that 8.6 is a sharp decline.   :lol:

But, I suppose come January when it goes back up to 9.2, that won't be a sharp increase.
