Those percentages don’t add the way you think they do. It’s more like 50% * (100% - 20%) + 20% * 100% = 60%. (“The female half of the 80% of the population that are adults, plus all of the 20% of the population that are children.”)
They don’t have to add up, it’s “news”. When have they ever properly used numbers like that? (Hint: It’s almost never; like when a woman “has sex with”, and a man “raped” an underage child – They use whatever invokes the most response, or least response, depending on how they want you to feel)
