Reporting is dead. They probably reached out to Pizza Hut PR department for the exact figure and went with what corporate told them. The PR department wants to make the increase looks as unreasonable as possible so gave them the 30% line. The reporter then writes that in the article.
Close to 30% is technically true, but it sounds like a bigger hike to the reader.
- karaterobot 3y agoTo be fair (?) I think reporting is not as much the problem as the death of editorial and fact-checking departments. This is the kind of mistake that ought to be caught by a process. It's sort of like saying programmers are getting worse because so many bugs get into code, and then finding out that, actually, all the unit tests and CI processes were turned off because they were expensive; the programmers may be worse, but in the end they aren't really the biggest problem.
