Thread: BAD MATH Wall Street Journal

OK.. The San Diego Trib had an article by Ruben Navarrette showcasing him as mathematically challenged....but.how about the Wall Street Journal..being mathematically challenged and Politically Correct..allowing outright distorted propaganda and promotion of agendas from ethnicentric special interest groups?

Do The Math...

Supposedly..immigration doesn't matter because the Republican Base in Florida voted 37% McCain -32% Romney..The WSJ states that 14% of the Republican base in Florida is Hispanic and voted for McCain.

According to the WSJ, this proves that the Republican Base (McCain voters + Hispanic voters) wants Amnesty..

However...Subtract 14% (hispanic vote) from 37% (McCain's number) = 23% of the Republican Base voted for McCain..

The other 77% voted for Romney, Paul or Huckabee..all anti- amnesty candidates..Even with the Hispanic vote, 63% did not vote for McCain.
Bad Math from a leading financial paper..

No wonder the Stock Market is crashing..

The WSJ misestimates math merely to promote whatever suits THEM!
