FYI: This is utter nonsense and just shows how poorly the journalist did his job:

(I do think it's funny though if guys/websites like these do their little propaganda, which later on turns out to be complete BS.)

I rarely have the privilege of seeing an article so utterly discredited in the comment section.

Where is the comment section? I don't see it there.

Dang can we please auto penalise Vox? This stuff is way too common.

It is penalized, but we overrode the penalty in this case, thinking the article was substantive. From the thread here it sounds like that was wrong.

Thanks. It was immediately obvious the cut was on the wrong axis. How did that ever see the light of day?
