believe that enrollment is going down.

Forget about reading the actual numbers on the Y-Axis are increasing downwards,
they'll only see the trend line going down.

None of them bother to read a damned thing. They could post "Obama is the greatest President in the history of the United States" and make it look like he's Satan and out to destroy the country.

I can't believe they could use Fox News logo and not get some sort of

"I don't want to tell people about the news, I want to tell people how to feel about the news."

The certainly do a masterful job of mal-informing their viewers and heaping on a lot of "what to fear and who to blame".

Ever been in a room full of Faux Newz viewers when the breaking news gong-tone sounds?
Their heads immediately snap to face-forward to receive the latest propaganda download.

you can see where it was photoshopped from the upper lefthand corner
to cover up this graph. The image at the top of the story has 4 triangles
and the line graph super-imposed.

It's still pretty clever.
