The city as a whole is safe—perhaps even safer than before—and one bad neighborhood is responsible for the increase.

Outliers cans strew overall statistics. Say for example that everyone got around 90% on a math test, but one person flunked the test and got a 0, the class average is going to be less than 90% even though everyone got around 90%.

Notice how this graph tricks your eye (well, your brain) into drawing two false conclusions—first, that sometime around 1990 home prices must have been very low, and second, that by 2030 home prices will be so high that few people will be able to afford a home. Better buy one now!

By adding more to the X-axis, you compress the graph, making the statistic seem more impactful and drastic.

The graph maker can get away with all kinds of lies simply armed with the knowledge that most readers will not look at the graph very closely. This can move a great many people to believe all kinds of things that aren’t so.

The truth is the legacy media are almost never telling us the truth about the world. Most of the things you see on the news is meant to blind you, a psyop. Not only are they misinforming us, they’re also manipulating graphs to guide us into making certain decisions. I’d say watch news but be perspicacious enough to analyze what u hear and see. In a way, social media may be a better news outlet than legacy media. But I’m sure all these media outlets are controlled by a shadow figure in Switzerland. Even twitter but I think twitter is better because it’s almost unregulated.
