Original Note:
This author incorrectly suggests that the chart in the Washington Post article is misleading in the same way as bar charts with non-zeroed axes. It is not. Axes for bar charts should go to zero to avoid distortions of area. The areas in the WaPo bars are not distorted. https://guides.library.duke.edu/datavis/topten
