This is why I go to the internet when I want to learn something and not watch television for “news.” Television is for entertainment and sometimes for a shallow learning experience, but when you really want to learn something, you have to read it, at the very least.
My parents watch the Evening News, since it’s what they grew up with and maybe they read the paper. They get none of their information on the internet, but they are in their 70’s and that’s the demographic of the evening news viewership. Television is too readily used for propaganda which is why I routinely discount everything I see or hear on television.
They will never show you any graphs like this on TV. Better to show burning cars or houses. It’s much more interesting to viewers who are looking for eye candy.
