Part of the problem I think is the difference between a basic skill level skill that you imagine “everyone” could actually learn - maybe like tying your shoes - and skills like statistics where I might be slightly better than the average person, having taken one college class in statistics and doing occasional reading and podcast listening. Statistics requires at least some college level study to even begin to understand IMHO. I don’t mean you have to go to college, but I mean that level of foundational skills built up, and the time and effort to reach it.
I’d prefer if news reports - a place where you can expect some ability to employ experts - to provide context around things like you’re saying. Otherwise I get why people are ditching “news” beyond maybe Reuters. It would be pretty easy to say exactly what you did, but that doesn’t get the clicks so… we have entertainment more than news.
