Fox finding a new way to lie with graphs is like a teenaged boy finding a new way to whack off - they're just going keep doing it over and over again.

My bad, compare the ticker there to the one on this equally-bad-but-not-the-same screenshot: The tickers are the same, and THAT one is well-sourced, meaning this one's a fake.

Is there a source on this? I can't seem to find the image anywhere else online.

It's a wonder they hadn't thought of the technique sooner.

Aw, crap, looks like it's a fake. The ticker is the same as on this screenshot. (http://www.businessinsider.com/fox-news-obamacare-chart-2014-3)
