I agree with you and the other commentor here, just want to add that a lot of reporting stays away from hard numbers because it’s hard for both the reporter and most readers to grasp.
Our critical thinking and mathematical issues in education definitely go back beyond the lead paint days, and a lot of journalists will try to smooth out the numbers.
As you say, it’s also sometimes done for sensationalism, but this one reads more like the journalist either never got the hard numbers or didn’t think the audience would follow along with them.



We need the gayest of crimes to make a comeback. Stonewall style.
