> Should they not be reported?

They probably shouldn't...

1) Humans are on average bad with numbers. This could have unforseen negative impacts.

2) Your average person can't define causal inference, let alone make a well-informed one.

3) Few of the presenters (news people) have a grasp on 1 & 2. If they do, also communicating that becomes a challenge that requires solving 1 & 2.
