"This is great. And frightening. But mostly great.
According to Wonkette:
"...this fun “info-graphic” on the Fox News, which explains how Sarah Palin’s supposedly strong 70% support from GOP idiots is still no match for Huckabee’s 63% support, or Romney’s 60%. What?"
Really, the only problem here is Fox's use of a pie chart. It makes sense that a single Republican might support more than one potential candidate, thus accounting for the given percentages.
But clearly, the people in Fox's digital department have forgotten that key lesson we all learned in 3rd grade math class. Sorry guys, but the pieces to a pie chart must add up to 1 whole, or in this case, 100%.
A more appropriate graph would have been a bar chart.
Fox News, write this down. A bar chart. Beacon Learning Center provides a graph tutorial which describes the different charts one can use for various types of data.
Happy learning! Remember, Fox News, knowledge is power."

2Amazing, they need to talk to the researcher who did this.
3i'm surprised their design program even let them make a chart like that!
4I should stick the chart in the Buchanan education thread.
5hahahahaha i was thinking the same thing steph.
6Oops. Poor graph person - this should have been an easy thing to do, and comes just Fox bosses put out a memo, saying they were going to cut production to "only the most essential, basic, and manageable elements" until they were error free, and that people will be fired for mistakes that make air.
Apparently the memo was inspired by them showing a picture of the parody Going Rouge when they meant to show Going Rogue.
7Wow, I am once again speechless
