Thank you, Faux News

Oh, Faux News, thank you for keeping us endlessly entertained. Informed, not so much. More like "infromed," as you'll see below. FNC management recently instituted a “zero tolerance” policy for on-screen errors, but if that’s the case, why don’t all the network’s “journalists” have bags over their heads?

Top five graphics illustrating how Fox News keeps us “informed”:

5. The other so-called “news networks” only tell us what 100% of poll respondents think. Only Fox has the balls to cover all 193% of the electorate.

4. There's a damn good reason why, when asked to create a graphic for the Lincoln/Douglas debates, a Fox News staffer chose Frederick Douglass. He couldn't find a picture of Oliver Douglas from "Green Acres."

3. What’s a producer to do when a poll doesn’t give you the results you’re hoping for? Get out the calculator. They arrived at these wacky percentages by adding together the results for “somewhat likely” and “very likely,” then keeping the “very likely” total in a category of its own even though that number had already been incorporated into the “somewhat” category, and completely throwing out the 15% total for “not sure.” Ta-da!

So they falsified poll results on a poll about falsifying research. Who says Fox News has no sense of irony?

2. This speaks for itself.  

1. In my first effort at creating the chart below, Excel attempted to convert the numbers into percentages that would add up to 100. Silly, silly Excel. You know nothing of journalism.
