"...there are many mediums that do give you just the facts and then shut up when they have no more facts to report."
Edgar et al. was not what I had in mind. More like a cross between them and today's news. The difference between data and information. Would it be too much to ask for more information and less interpretation? I don't know possible solutions either, perhaps a Wolfram Alpha type interface is already the friendliest interface to data possible, but then again it's not (yet) connected to "news events". One has to actively go and ask specific questions.
- nostrademons 17y agoI would like to see more facts in news reporting, but I don't think you can divorce this from interpretation. Facts by themselves are boring. You won't even remember them unless you're given some conceptual framework to fit them in with what you know.
