Here is a nice example!
Socialists love to compare the US with Scandinavian countries. This has a long tradition! What is wrong with the chart below? A lot:
- Only two years are compared. Any honest scientist and science journalist knows that this is a deceptive practice.
- Using only percentage changes is another common deceptive practice. Why don't they show per capita results as well?
- What if the US has been so advanced by 2010 that Denmark was only able to catch up with the US by 2019?
