cherry-picking
The political group is cherry-picking data by only presenting information (unemployment rates) that supports their agenda, while potentially ignoring other important factors or contexts that may provide a more balanced view. By selectively choosing data that aligns with their viewpoint, they are trying to sway public opinion in a biased manner.
Read the scenario and review the social media post.
A political group wants to sway public opinion about a new president. One member of the group posts this bar graph of unemployment rates on his social media account.
What technique is the group using to present data?
