- outside1234 4y agoWell the details ARE important. Almost every country that produces non-biased statistics is seeing inflation. This information is important because it points to a global problem and not a local policy problem.

- rr808 4y agoYes but the details are here: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm. Its a boring site with the numbers. The "media" isn't about details, its about entertainment.
- SoftTalker 4y agoI think most people don't care about percentages, this month vs last month or this month vs this month last year, etc. They do care about rising prices on the shelf at the store, or gas at the pump, and these are very noticable regardless of what the media is saying.
