someone posted this on /tv/, so let's have a thread about graphs, bad graphs.
graphs that are arranged so they're hard to read, graphs with axes that represent different things depending on which line/bar you're looking at, graphs that are so obviously constructed with an agenda that they appear to imply something completely unrelated, perhaps even contradictory, to all the data you can actually glean from the image.
bonus points are based on the accreditation of the source it appeared in.
