Not terribly egregious, but MSNBC had a graphic that I think misrepresented what they were reporting.  They report that sledding results in 20,800 visits to the emergency room every year in the U.S.  And then they display this graphic:

So this would indicate that 34% of the 20,800, or 7,072, were “Head Injuries” and 9% of that number, 1,872,  were “Traumatic Brain Injuries”.  However, the voice-over says that “9% of those [head injuries]” result in “Traumatic Brain Injuries”, which would actually be 637 instead of 1,872.  The two percentages should probably not be presented side-by-side, as they are.

Granted, I don’t want my kids to be one of those numbers, but this news segment could be filed under “even more news to scare parents”, like this SNL skit parodies.

“We begin tonight’s program as we always do, with a story to scare parents.”
