CNN.com posted misleading graph… [Media Matters for America]

Damn that liberal media! See, CNN put out this poll that showed 62% of Democrats vs. 54% of Republicans or Independents agreed with the decision to remove Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube. In other words, no matter what party, a majority approved of the court decisions. OK, sure, Democrats approve by eight percentage points more, but the poll’s margin of error is ±7%; it could be as close as 62%-61% or 55%-54%. But fine, Democrats have a higher understanding of morality and humanity; I can accept that.

But then CNN puts up a graphic like this:

And whoa! it sure looks like Democrats are way out of the Republican/Independent mainstream, huh? Ah, fun with y-axis scaling. Instead of a 0%-100% run, it’s a 53%-63% run, a difference of ten points, when the MOE is seven!

So, along those same lines, I offer my own graphics:

See! When you campare Conservative Republicans with other Conservatives, it’s obvious that the Republicans want to starve Terri Schiavo to death and prevent the government from interfering.
