Best example of a bad pie chart ever: agreed. This should definitely be shown
in stats class whenever you discuss pie charts (although I think most people
would see the problem without statistical training).
For the sake of accuracy, the fact that it was not FoxNews is clear from the
logo on the screen. It was the local Fox network affiliate in Chicago. This
distinction was even mentioned by the blogger right on the page ("Alright,
alright, so it's local news, but still, come on") but he evidently kept the
title because it was more fun.

Perhaps the worst pie chart in the history of creation... from (who
else?) Fox "News."
