Leah’s Reviews > How Charts Lie: Getting Smarter about Visual Information > Status Update

Holy dense. It’s so interesting because looking at these charts before reading what Cairo says about them I would totally also fall for the misinformation.

Holy shit that part about victims of crimes by race took me forever to dissect. However I realised it was just row vs column contingency tables and I figured it out.

I didn’t know there were so many ways to distort charts… really need to start looking more into visuals I see every day

Love a connected scatterplot, but political visuals still make me feel so stupid

I liked the overview, sped through it. I knew some of these things but it’s interesting to dive into the complexities and nuances even more.
