Nobody would be this dense to do this deliberately. What follows from this I don't know.

  Why do you believe that? More than a few people at CNN signed off on this before airing to the world.

    That was my point (I mean, how many people must consider their readers that stupid to post a chart like this?)

    > More than a few people at CNN signed off on this before airing to the world. I always had the impression that a lot of this kind of stuff is produced in a hurry, not infrequently by lowly paid interns and the like. Especially if there's a news item just 30 minutes before airing time you got to race to produce this and there isn't really time for a proper signing-off procedure.

      You don't reverse an axis by accident.

        How do you know? Could just be a screw-up in the software they used to generate it somehow; i.e. they filled in the labels in the wrong order, were in a hurry, and no one noticed in time. I didn't even notice it originally.

  > Nobody would be this dense to do this deliberately That makes more sense with “... accidentally” than “...deliberately”.
