Again, this is the difference between real numbers and percentages. And worse, journalists who can't distinguish between "average" "mean" and "median".
You're blaming journalists when you should be blaming the source of the story. That's what this article is doing. That's what Mark was saying in his post #56. The reporters get blamed because of the quotes in their story. The audience WANTS bias in their reporting, as long as it's bias that supports their opinions.
