subtle ways the media manufactures consent

@NoahB opinions doesn't mean it is happening! Nor surging!

If what you said is true, that title is BS and wrong!

@LavenderTown Look at the graph that was presented in the original post! That's what I'm referring to! And that was the subject of this post.


Based on the subject at hand (that (poorly designed) graph), no one can say my comment is wrong (based on that graph).

yep. plus that graph isn't even of actual crime. just perceived crime rates. its very intentionally made to look like actual crime though imo. i've attached a link to actual data of crimes from the same statistics source here

@OggggO yep. just a stupid graph all together. made entirely to scare people

@adorbz not to people who don't know how to read graphs!

@adorbz exactly! That's what I'm saying, it looks like it's just going back to average based on the graph given.

@Viper you're both correct. but it being flipped backward, at a glance, would indicate a trend of 'rising crime' to most people. which i believe is the intent of flipping the graph

@deadgerbil very stupid.

@MrBrownstone i see you didn't read the graph lol

@NoahB It’s set up so Biden can

@MrBrownstone ?

@HoraceGreenley no its like this on purpose

@MistyCee its of perceived crime. as if that was any kind of statistic to base policy on lol. but yeah its screwy. very purposefully misleading too imo

You could be right. It may be fake. I’ll get back if I find the segment from which it’s from @ViciDraco
