Save time by watching every TV news report on the economy at once

The economy is an incredibly dense and vast topic that few understand and even fewer can explain. This really sucks for journalists, as it’s all but impossible to make economic coverage tolerable to the average viewer. So, in an effort to get people to actually care about what boils down to a bunch of numbers changing pretty incrementally, they try to get people invested by putting a human face on an economic story or by cramming so much information into such a short period of time as to make it completely meaningless.
