What statistics would you like the news to report on?

Other than any political ones, (so tired of those), what statistics would you like to hear about?  There's so many things going on in the world we could learn about and hear about, that I think it would be a good idea, to round out info coming in.

When they give "number of Covid cases today", I'd like the numbers broken down between those who were vaccinated and those who were not. I'd like the same breakdown on " number of Covid deaths today".

Percentage of deaths by suicide. Its astounding to me that deaths by suicide rank so high...higher than most diseases, etc. Its a national emergency that is invisible to most. Also, I would like to see the percentage of murders of women by a husband or Sig other reported. Again, the percentage is ridiculously high and we (both men and women) should ring a loud alarm on it and not tolerate it.

True, accurate, non-manipulated stats on any subject for a change.

I am not hopeful that this will happen anytime soon.

I can barely watch the news anymore. I have always been a news watcher and at one time the highlight of my day was reading the newspaper. And KC had 2. One in the AM and one in PM. So depressing. And next year we will begin election discussion. UGH... That is when I turn on the Q.

I get all my news online & don't watch TV. I try to go to different sites with all points of view to get a balanced overview. I personally think that's the best way to get a fair view of the world. To be extreme on any side is not healthy. I do not go to any fringe or anything considered a conspiracy site. I also don't get my news from Facebook.

I can prove the sun doesn't come up using statistics.  You can find them to support anything.

 

I would like to ditch the puppies and rainbow stuff and go back to news.  Like what the city is doing, what is going on with the water plant in town, how is the county spending money, what is changing in tax laws, an in-depth review of city finances and spending, how is crime in your area.

 

I would like them to quit the "awe how sweet" bologna and tell me things I need to know!

I'd like to see them report the real truth.  But that's just me.
