In this ninth survey of the web, the WAWG index group average was up by 15.6 percent from May 2006. This made up for a little over half May’s drop of 26 percent. Of the fourteen items tracked, 12 were up and 2 were down. The cumulative change for the index is up 42 percent and is down from the 56 percent high last February.
The only remaining continuous downtrend is “media control” which dropped another 4.5 percent.
The largest increase for June was 39 percent for identifying “scape goats as a unifying cause.” Since June was a reversal from last month, it is worth noting that the biggest reversal was 102 percent for “powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism.”
