As you may have seen,\u00a0yesterday<\/a>\u00a0Fox offered up this hilariously misleading chart of Obamacare’s enrollment progress:<\/p>\n

The numbers on that chart said 6 million and 7 million, but visually, it was pure gibberish. According to the height of the bars, the ratio was actually 3:8. Making it worse, there wasn’t even a scale.<\/p>\n

Well, today, Fox has apologized and issued a correction,\u00a0saying<\/a>\u00a0the chart should have looked like this:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Indeed, the chart is now properly scaled\u2014but before you go run off and congratulate Fox for doing\u00a0the right thing<\/s>\u00a0their job, there’s one little thing they didn’t mention: The fact that Obamacare enrollments\u00a0are now expected<\/a>\u00a0to hit that 7 million target (update @ 10:56 AM PT: WH spokesman Jay Carney just announced Obamacare enrollments have cleared the 7 million threshold), rendering the 6 million figure irrelevant\u2014unless you want to talk about the big last minute surge of enrollment.<\/p>\n

Bottom-line: Fox would rather issue corrections that allow them re-report outdated information than talk about what’s actually happening today with Obamacare. That’s not a good sign for the anti-Obamacare crusaders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
