Comments on: Video/ 365gay News: Randall Pinkston reports on AIDS crisis http://www.365gay.com/video/082608-aids-crisis/ The daily news source for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:11:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Viewer http://www.365gay.com/video/082608-aids-crisis/comment-page-1/#comment-13156 Viewer Wed, 27 Aug 2008 02:05:04 +0000 http://www.365gay.com/?p=2913#comment-13156 This is an very important story, and I'm glad it's being covered. A couple small complaints, though: It seems like the report spent a lot of valuable image time showing blood being drawn, over and over again. Also, isn't the reporter's name spelled Pinkston, not Pinston? This is an very important story, and I’m glad it’s being covered.

The narrator says that African Americans make up 22% of NC's population and 68% of NC's reported AIDS cases. But the graphic shows 68% of the NC African American population have AIDS. That's absurd, and is not what the narrator said. The same mistake is made for Whites, a few seconds later. If you're going to do a graphic, it might be a good idea to get it right. The correct pie charts would be (1) a pie chart showing the 22-74 ratio of African American to White in NC, and (2) a pie chart showing the 68-22 ration of reported African American to White AIDS cases in NC.
