"There are lies, damned lies and statistics."
Even so called [b]facts[/b] can be biased if reported in a certain way.
EXAMPLE:
[quote]The Chicago Cubs are not having as good a season as they did last year. They won the National League Central division last season but right now sit a game behind Milwaukee and Pittsburgh.[/quote]
[b]FACTS:[/b]
Cubs played .568 ball in 2017
They are currently playing .564 (22-17)
As they say, however, there are [b]ALTERNATIVE FACTS[/b]:
After 39 games last year, the Cubs were at .513 (20-19) and were [i]two[/i] games behind Milwaukee.
So at this point in the season compared to last year they are actually doing [i]better[/i] than last season.
