Truth or Spin?

An infographic lands on your desk. Somewhere behind it are real numbers, a real graph and someone’s headline. Your job is to say what the evidence actually supports — and then what would fix it.

Careful: most of these are honestly made. Some are perfectly fine. Some have every number right and a headline that goes too far. And some are clear, accurate and simply answering a different question from the one they set out to.
