Everything Everywhere Daily - How to Lie With Statistics

Mark Twain once said, 'There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.'

The reason why he placed statistics into its own category is because it is possible to use numbers to misrepresent the truth, distort reality, or outright lie. 

However, if you know what to look for, you can catch misuses of statistics, and if really pay attention, you can find these misuses almost everywhere.

Learn more about how you can lie with statistics on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: America’s Divide Explained (RERUN)

America’s political divide has been growing in recent decades – and that seems especially true with a contentious election just months away. 

So today, as many of us continue to celebrate America’s independence, we wanted to go back and re-listen to a conversation we shared late last year with an expert who has done the research – and found we all carry biases that may contribute to our country’s current polarization.

Our guest is breaking down the biases that keep us fractured and offering possible solutions we can implement in our own lives.

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - Opinionpalooza: The Supreme Court End-of-Term Breakfast Table

What just happened??? Despite going into June clear-eyed and well informed about the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority, the number of huge cases before it, and the alarming stakes in so many of those cases…we are, nonetheless, shocked. The October 2023 term came to a shuddering end on Monday July 1st and Dahlia Lithwick, Mark Joseph Stern, Steve Vladeck and Mary Anne Franks are here to help parse some monumental decisions, some smaller cases with big ramifications, and what we can understand about the Justices who made those decisions for the rest of us, and the Justices who dissented. 

This is part of Opinionpalooza, Slate’s coverage of the major decisions from the Supreme Court this June. We kicked things off this year by explaining How Originalism Ate the Law.

Consider This from NPR - Disabled students are struggling to get what they need at school

Students with disabilities often face a tough time getting the services they need at school. When they can't get them, many families seek help from the federal government. And, right now, the Department of Education is swamped with a record number of discrimination complaints. The backlog is leaving families across the country waiting months, even years, for help.

NPR's Jonaki Mehta visited one such family, in central Georgia
