Find a misleading chart in the wild — and rebuild it honestly

Misleading charts are everywhere — truncated axes, cherry-picked windows, 3D pie charts. Find a real one in Indian media or social feeds, dissect exactly how it misleads, then rebuild it honestly from the underlying data.

Steps

01Hunt for a genuinely misleading chart in the wild: news sites, WhatsApp forwards, company presentations, political posts. Save the link/screenshot.
02Diagnose the tricks: name each specific technique (axis truncation, missing baseline, wrong chart type, cherry-picked dates).
03Get the underlying data — from the article’s own source, or reconstruct it from the chart’s labels.
04Rebuild the chart honestly and compare: what story does the honest version tell?

Tools: News sites / your feeds, Google Sheets or any chart tool
