Christ, if a talking head can exclude data like that, anyone can produce a graph that shows CV19 deaths are practically zero by excluding all states but Wyoming, Vermont, Maine, and Alaska.

trump is misusing stats, but I expect better of so-called "journalists," especially left-leaning ones. CV19 and deaths are expanding rapidly, so we don't need to misrepresent the data. trump is cooked.

on my tablet. That's why I had to post from a tweet I saw, I thought it was important when i saw it. She did that about 2 months ago with NY Times charts but I couldn't figure out how to post that either.

I posted 2 of the three available segments from Rachel's Wednesday night show since that seemed to be the most important news of the night to me - no big surprise. I almost included this video, too, so it stuck in my mind.

Here are the other two, one is a follow up of the other, same story:
