Looks like it's just recovering from Covid to the average it was before...

@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

My favorites were the old news "infographics" that didn't follow scale. Usually bar graphs. Always funny. This is a loose example:

Percentage of adults who what? The backwards x-axis is definitely bad, but the y-axis being functionally unlabeled is worse.
NoahB · 31-35, M
@OggggO yep. just a stupid graph all together. made entirely to scare people

Wtf lol that graph hardly shows any change even that’s what it looks like the right way round 😆 why did they bother flipping it
NoahB · 31-35, M
@adorbz not to people who don't know how to read graphs!
Viper · M
@adorbz exactly! That's what I'm saying, it looks like it's just going back to average based on the graph given.
NoahB · 31-35, M
@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

That graph is a headache to look at
NoahB · 31-35, M
@deadgerbil very stupid.

Welcome to Biden’s America
NoahB · 31-35, M
@MrBrownstone i see you didn't read the graph lol
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@NoahB It’s set up so Biden can

A dyslexic graphic?
NoahB · 31-35, M
@HoraceGreenley no its like this on purpose
Consent what? Crime? Law Enforcement?

That graph is screwy.
NoahB · 31-35, M
@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

The sad thing is, without the original source, I can't even trust that this graph was prevented this way on live tv. Too easy to fake in order to disparage the network, but also something that could have really happened.
NoahB · 31-35, M
You could be right. It may be fake. I’ll get back if I find the segment from which it’s from @ViciDraco
