Fox News lies with statistics







Fox News lies with statistics

Fox News lies with statistics 05/21/2004 06:49 AM

My cow-orker Jason Schultz identifies a nice bit of Fox statistical chicanery:

Among today's top stories, a new "Fox News Poll" that says 33% of those surveyed think the media is too easy on Kerry and 42% think the media is too tough on Bush. [Of course, if it were limited to FoxNews coverage, you'd probably see dramatically different numbers in the opposite direction.]

But let's just look at the numbers they've given us. 33% think the media is too easy on Kerry. That means 66% (or 2/3rds) think the media is fair or too tough on Kerry, right? Isn't that the real story?

We've already discovered, just so far, the remains of 400,000 people in mass graves.
Um, no. No, you haven't.
And USAID, in its report Iraq's Legacy of Terror: Mass Graves, might want to do some fact-checking too, along with our dear leader as well ("There's mass graves"), and his supporters.

Every once in a while you are surprised when you dig down into the site statistics. 44% of you use Mozilla or Firefox, 51% of you use IE. 50% of the readers originate in the US while 20% of you check in from Europe and 30% from all other places around the Globe. Wednesday seems to be our peak day by a few percentage points. Google remains king as they account for 72% of those that find us by search engine. Oh the most important statistic, since we incorporated full text rss feeds our RSS readership has exploded and that readership is up 64%

With my absence due to my injury in June we did not see any growth in June. From January 1st thru today we have averaged 15.9% monthly growth rate, June hurt the average but I am not complaining. I want to thank all of you for continued readership of the site.


Lies, Damn Lies And Telephone Calls


Lies, Damn Lies And Telephone Calls 02/12/2004 02:44 AM
You would think that, if someone needed to tell a lie, they'd prefer to do so over email, where they wouldn't let their voice betray them. However, a new study says that people are more likely to lie over the telephone than over email. Amazingly, email-based lies were at the bottom of the list. People told the most lies over the telephone, the second most face-to-face, followed up by instant messages and email last. Maybe that's why people are tryin g to fight parking tickets via the phone. Apparently, there's just something truthful about email. The basic theory by the researcher, though, is that people tell lies by voice because there's no record of what they said - and it can vanish into thin air and be disputed later. They also lie more during live conversations because they're put on the spot and don't have time to think through a good answer. That certainly makes some amount of sense. Of course, the other theory (which I like best) is that the subjects for this study lied in giving their results...

Lies, Damn Lies And Technology


Lies, Damn Lies And Technology 05/12/2004 05:13 PM
A few months ago we wrote about how one guy predicted that 3G mobile phones would never take off because the camera phone part would make it difficult to lie about where you were. We had no idea that most people used their mobile phones to lie about their location (or that that single factor would damn the entire product category). However, apparently the lying segment of the population is out there, and they've got money to spend, so solutions started cropping up, including a way to put fake image backgrounds into camera phone images to make people think you're somewhere you're not and (even more impressive) fake audio sounds to complete the faux imagery. There are even (apparently) bars that have fake office backdrops for camera phone enabled workers sneaking out for a drink. Douglas Rushkoff is now wondering about all this technological effort put into helping us lie better and wonders if it really shows how technology advancements make us more truthful. All these efforts show that people now need to make much more of an effort to be dishonest, which makes it even clearer (perhaps to themselves as well) how much they are lying. In fact, Rushkoff believes that such enforced honesty should be seen as an opportunity for people, rather than as a reason to avoid the technology altogether.

Terrorist incidents actually ROSE in 2003, but the State Department's "Patt erns of Global Terrorism" report, issued April 29 (see Appendix G for an easy chart), said the exact opposite. Senior Bush administration officials immediately hailed it as objective proof that they were winning the war on terrorism. The report is considered the authoritative yardstick of the prevalence of terrorist activity around the world. Reports like this one were all over the news in April--will the fact that it was a lie be reported as widely? And can we trust anything this administration says anymore?

Big Fat Lies, two years later


Big Fat Lies, two years later 07/15/2004 01:27 PM
Low-carb jumps the shark? More than half of all Americans who've tried low-carb diets have given up, a new survey found. Is this the latest indication that the Atkins fad has peaked? Two years ago this month, Gary Taubes kicked it off with a NYT Magazine cover story arguing that emerging science proved Atkins right and the nurtition establishment wrong. A couple small, short-term studies released shortly thereafter seemed to show he was on to something. But there were problems with the "Big Fat Lie" piece: CNN found that three of the researchers Taubes cited completely disagreed with his main premise. Worse, it turned out Taubes had claimed low-fat diets don't work while ignoring the vast body of peer-reviewed evidence to the contrary, and more of his sources came forward to say things like "I was greatly offended by how Gary Taubes tricked us all into coming across as supporters of the Atkins diet. I think he’s a dangerous man. I’m sorry I ever talked to him." [More Inside]
