I actually think that graph is much less useful than the other ones shown further down the article. A blunt three-point scale has nowhere near the necessary nuance compared to the full 9-point one. And the fact that it breaks apart median and mean is pretty handy too. For example we can see that Christian Porter, Clive Palmer, and Pauline Hanson occasionally say things that are very true (enough to bring up their mean) but that the majority—as in literally, at least half of the things that have been checked—are 100% made up, the worst possible score.
