If you don’t think that is a good source, don’t use it. As others have shown, it didn’t actually mislead, it just lacked context and detail. So… That’s not a great source. Find a better source for your data.

And save your ire for sources that are actually misleading.

I’ve seen a video of a creationist preacher who said that if 2+2=5 were in the Bible, he’d believe it. I’m sure that if Trump said 2 + 2 = 5 the Republicans in Congress would support it and claim Math had a liberal bias.

> No, sir. That graphic is a superb example of the tripe we’re being fed in support of the lock down. I suggest you improve your manners.

Are you posting here to get a point across, to upset the “libruls”, or is it a combination of the two?
