Misleading Headlines UPDATE

2/11/2015

Comments

 
At the end of January the National Union of Students (NUS) in the UK put out a press release stating that "60 per cent of students use porn to find out more about sex".  What the NUS should have said, however, was "60 per cent of students that have ever viewed porn did so to find out more about sex".  For a more detailed explanation of this misrepresentation, see our last post. 

Unfortunately, many outlets regurgitated this grossly exaggerated finding without question:
