Fox News Hoped You Wouldn't Notice This

See something wrong with the last dot? Funny how their “oops” moments are never in Obama’s favor.

Notice how despite a 0.4% decrease, the placement of the last dot is the same as the one before it . . .

And how they somehow managed to make 8.6% look like more than 8.8% . . .

And see how wildly different a chart can look when the same data is presented honestly . . .
