  And yet the report from Politifact in QZ that explicitly shows "year over year change" shows no such thing: - 5% in 2007 - 9% in 2009 - -1% in 2010 - 2% in 2011 - -2% in 2012 - 0% in 2013

    Please read the thread. You missed the 2008 report (as did politifact). I linked to the 2008 report which does not show absolute service number breakdowns; only rounded (or, perhaps, truncated [in which case the YOY change could be significantly higher than 25%]) percentages from a total. Why would PP deviate from their standard reporting practices?

      I did read the thread. You quoted a report that showed '25% year over year'. With the numbers of this report, there would have to be a 100% increase in 2008 (that reverted back to "normal" levels in 2009) to average out to that level. Even rounding numbers would not account for the discrepancy between "2% more this year than last" and "25% more this year than last".

        Its not percent of a percent. It's percent of an absolute change. 1st derivative vs 2nd derivative. Edit: hmm, maybe I misunderstood your point. I don't think the politifact or qz YOY data from 2009 is based on 2008 (but rather, 2007 [technically not YOY then]). How would they have calculated the YOY without the absolute number for 2008?
