My biggest frustration with reporting is when the reporter provides some number without context. “$1 billion was cut from X program” How big is that program?

My biggest frustration with reporting is when the reporter provides some number without context.
“$1 billion was cut from X program”
How big is that program?
But they so often leave off how large the total program is.
The worst is when the cut was actually done do a planned budget increase. So the headline should have read “$1 billion in budget increases were cancelled”
