I've always wanted to know what the people who make these charts are thinking. They clearly have to know, in at least some of these examples, that they are playing with the numbers or the visuals.

A few options I've thought about:

* "Yes I know I'm lying, but everyone lies and this is just leveling the playing field against the liberal press who also does it."

* "Sure these might not be exactly true, but what matters is the idea, and the idea is completely false"

* "evil cackle"
