"Identifying Misleading Information in an Argument"

Find an online article (news, magazine, journal, etc.) on any subject  that interests you that uses statistics to make its conclusion. Share a  link in this thread.

Now answer these questions about that article:

• What is the premise and conclusion of the argument based on statistics?
• Determine whether or not the argument uses any deceptive statistics.
• Give your opinion on whether or not the argument has persuaded you. Explain why or why not.
• Determine the primary ways in which statistics or authority are  used in your current position in developing persuasive arguments and  provide examples here.
