"worst examples of a #DatavizFail #GraphCrime" seems a bit overstated to me. it's more on the funny side imho. but I agree that careful reviewing/editing should not have let it pass.
see tomorrow's post in Small Things Considered (https://schaechter.asmblog.org/schaechter/)

Yesterday in my BIO/INFO 270 class I lectured about predatory publishing. Whether or not you think Hindawi falls into that category, they need to be doing a much better job of vetting the articles they publish.

Look closely: These are not error bars. They are literally the typeset letter "T" placed atop each bar in the bar graph.

I just looked up CDC's COVID community level for Kings County, ie Brooklyn. It's currently high, ie so many officially reported cases that even the Biden-Walensky CDC says everyone should mask indoors.
Check out the map rendered on the CDC page *for Kings County*. Can you make out any useful info about NYC as a whole, let alone the individual borough? #DataVizFail
