Intentionally changing what the data actually show to fit a claim furthering an agenda. Anytime someone ignores, suppresses, or alters findings, results, data or statistics to fit their agenda. This could be media skewing a graph to hype fear (ex. of violent crime, drug use), politicians ignoring data needed to accurately assess a policy (ex. Lead in the water), social scientists beefing up a study's results to be published, companies claiming a product is safe (ex. Pharmaceutical clinical trials), and everyday users of Twitter who offer a "poll" to show what 'everyone' thinks.
The graph showing the increase in violent crime nationwide was obvious data gerrymandering because the statistics were only taken from the cities with populations over 1 million.

When if anything near a reasonable redistricting system would of been in place, they would of easily of lost that control.
In the 2012 Presidential election, Republicans maintained control of the House of Representatives even though they lost states like Ohio and got less of the congressional votes. However, because of abusive gerrymandering in Ohio, they ended up with 12 of the 16 congressional seats available in the state. When afterwards they claimed to have their own "mandate" from the voters, they only really had a gerrymandate, because they actually got less votes in the House of Representatives than the Democrats did and kept control by gaming the system, not because it was the will of the voters.
