 @bdabbff7  This is going in my collection. Do you remember the date when it was broadcast?

Broadcasting a graph as part of TV show or in other video formats often leads the presenters to greatly “simplify” the graph. It is unlikely to be studied closely— providing instead a general impression. Even if well-supported the viewer may not know why. Instead it conveys “this is quantified and science-y” 

What are some best practices for presenting data in videos?
