    This is awesome and so, so true. I love the little "signed... someone who took a basic statistics course". It's completely true - any one who did 1st year statistics will have been lectured about analysing polls/surveys and not assuming anything (especially when it comes to surveys where most people tick the 'don't care' option. It's annoying how the media misconstrues polls so much, and sometimes you have to wonder if they do it just to suit their story and give 'evidence' that they are right. Does that make sense? Probably not. Either way, awesome cartoon :)

    Yup anyone with half a brain knows not to trust everything you hear in the media. They are corporations and have their own interests which can affect their product.
