Cherry picking data to fit your point is stats 101 for "journalists"
- ProjectArcturis 4y agoWhat agenda do you think Costas Paris of the Wall Street Journal is pushing here?
- addisonl 4y agoThere doesn't need to be a hidden agenda—they simply want eye-catching headlines to drive clicks to their site.
- ProjectArcturis 4y ago"Ocean shipping rates have plunged 60% this year" -- I guess that's somewhat more eye-catching than "Worthwhile Canadian Initiative", but not by much.
- bigcat12345678 4y agoIt's therefore very frustrating that Google search on factual data is entirely dominated by proprietary data sources like statistia (https://www.statista.com/ https://www.statista.com/), whereas the sources are mostly open for free access somewhere lacking the necessary treaks to make them available.
- itsoktocry 4y ago>Cherry picking data to fit your point is stats 101 for "journalists" What "point"? Shipping rates are down 60% in a year. That is a fact. I guess business reporting is too complicated for some people here.
- kingofpandora 4y agoI didn't know shipping rates were falling, let alone falling this much. So this is news for me.
