OOPS!

Geez, I kept looking at that and it never registered that the right column was labeled "goal" instead of "claimed enrollment" for 31 March! Obviously, the "goal" was only 7 million, and the chart shows 7,066,000 for the bar labeled "goal" - that's a good catch, but seems a bit picayune methinks. Of course, if the label is to stay, this means the bar would also need to change, for if the horizontal reference lines continue to represent 200,000 per, then the 7,000,000 would need to be dropped a smidge down to that 5th line above 6,000,000 (5 x 200,000 = 1,000,000 and 6,000,000 + 1,000,000 = 7,000,000).
But that is still extremely minor - or was your point supposed to be extremely petty?

Instead of showing enrollment to be 15% behind, FOX showed it to be 63% behind.

OOPS!

Oh, wait. Now I see the rest of your post. You were just being thick, or delusional, or obstinent, or just incapable of reading bar graphs. Did you not notice the complete width of the graph did not span from the beginning of October, 6 months prior? Are you just obtuse, or working hard to appear that way? Did you fail math after first grade?

Will it make any difference that this week Obamination announced that over 310,000 were fake, fictitious enrollments which will need to be dropped, likely before September? This would make the 31 March real-world enrollment around 6,756,000 - which would be short of the "goal" which Obamination championed. Shirley he could not have considered intentionally fabricating enrollment, we know how that "I've destroyed Al-queda" worked out for Ambassador Stevens' bunghole.

The pic has no #'s associated with the horizontal lines. Just 2 numbers in the colored columns, and two dates. At the bottom of the image, there is no zero designation, so there's no real way of determining what is " wrong " with this pic. The columns pictured could be merely the tops of each total for the respected dates listed.

In HUGE contrast, Hong Kong is no where near S. America. At all !

By Jessic Alba's knickers , this has been a colossal waste of time!

If you're going to excuse this mistake:

you should excuse this one:

Or, if you're going to criticize one, you should criticize the other. I wasn't doing either. My posts were just to look at who responded, and how. The right whingers find hyocricy to be no stretch.

You are an intersting datapoint. You want to make me wrong personally, no matter what I've posted, what argument you have to make or what personal attack you have to mount. I shall keep that in mind as what it means you are.

;)

SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.

I suspect you intended to post those images in reverse order of what you did.

Shirley this means they were wrong, because algore created Global Warming and the Internet?

Just because they were right, and had some weak-willed lawyer convince them to issue some mea culpa, does not discount the fact that they were still right.
Some years ago a literate employee of the City of Washington DC used the word niggardly in a report, I think it was budgetary or fiscal. Because the illiterate retarded African-American Councilwoman was too stupid to understand the English language, plus too lazy to reference a dictionary or thesaurus (likely far, far, far beyond her scope), she was offended. The employee might have apologized, but regardless was still correct and RIGHT, and the Libtard was WRONG. Yet, the employee lost their job and livelihood due to being literate amongst retards. Hence when FOX is RIGHT, CORRECT, ACCURATE in reporting, they still make apologies just to pacify the retards who criticize them.
Claiming that one was wrong when stating the Earth revolves around the Sun when no credible evidence supports anything but the Sun revolving around the Earth does not mean the statement was actually incorrect.
