Here is a balanced article on drought:

And here is how Huffpo spun it:
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/southwest-megadrought-study_n_5e98f24dc5b63639081bdd89

they focused on how this one is *gonna* be worse (as if they know) and fail to talk at all about the normal 300-400 year cycle of large droughts.

You’re pretty far left of center, scaredy. I think you just can’t see it from your vantage point.[/quote]

probably. If politcal views are viewed as on a sphere, I’d probably be so far down the curve I wouldnt be able to see the center anymore.

but as to your first link, it does look like it’s a good point from scientists about how conservative media edits misleading graphs to prove wrongful points.

but that’s kind of boring.

How about a better headline:

National Review staff member tries to upload misleading graph at fake news conference, but is found in possession of child porn!

too long, and needs focus, and mroe truthiness, but…

maybe

National Review staff member possesses childish porn

then describe how misleading graphs are like childish pornography.

this is a bad example.

i think it’d be more, presenting falsified graphs like the National Review does to promote leftist ideas.
