I don't know that the chart is misleading, as it states that the graph is indicating percent growth. It could probably be made clearer though.
I think it's the article that's misleading, especially with a title that declares something like that. Also, it's a durable goods chart. It says nothing about the non-durable exports, such as foodstuff. So the article is misleading because the US doesn't only export durable goods.
How come no one is deriding boingboing for their poor journalism, like the techcrunch article about google maps, sweden, and greenhouse gases?

I think the standards are different for a site like TechCrunch that represents itself as a legitimate competitor to mainstream journalism. Isn't BoingBoing more of an entertainment site? As soon as I see stories about Spiderman, World of Warcraft, jetpacks, and Cheezy Poofs mixed in with something that kind of looks like journalism I immediately know how to judge it.
- iamwil 17y agoyes, but I still expect my entertainment site to be able to read charts and graphs.
