Donation does not equal causation
I’ll give you that: certainly donation does not equal causation. However, I do think that this is a great tool to make these donations visible. It made me think of the scene in Sicko where he displays the donations from the healthcare industry that politicians have received (it’s in the trailer below).
Or the graphic linked to this New York Times article. In each of these cases, while the graphics do make arguments, they shouldn’t be decontextualized and those arguments shouldn’t be the only arguments. Ideally, the graphics would make the data visible in a way that is as objective as possible so that that data can serve as part of a larger argument.
