Reply to comment by rajimoto in [OC] How to spot misleading charts? I would like to hear your opinion on the subject, also any tips design-wise? by dark_o3

Big problem with journalists and medical studies. The paper will have all sorts of conditions on the data but the press will report one finding without these conditions. "Drug X had negative effects on 40% of people with condition Y who take drug Z" becomes "Drug X has negative effects!"
