Whenever I read columns about current topics, I always think that

"Why doesn't this writer make figures or tables and add them in his/her column?"

------

Now I tried to research some columns and noticed that this tends to be the case in economic and political news.

Significantly, senior editorialists, so-called "heavyweights" in the field who have ignored the figures and tables, should be blamed.

Even if they don't know how to use Excel or Powerpoint, it is no problem. I will say, "Try it with handwritten."

Or, instead, handwritten is better.

Because it conveys their opinions to the readers.

The reason we use Excel or Powerpoint is to save time.
