I struggled with this in college. I would like to speed everyone up, like Vi Hart does in her videos (I love her videos!) Rapid assimilation of verbal information is by far my most "out there" strength. DH can outdo me in almost all areas, but I probably read 3X as fast as he does. I have been told by others that I read aloud too fast, but even so, my DD no longer wanted to be read to by age 6 because she preferred the faster speed of reading alone.
This is one of the reasons I hate those news video's (and TV news) that have proliferated over the net. I can read the relevant information is 1/4 of the time it takes to impart the same info in a video format.
I don't have the same problem with the speed of verbal information (maybe because I like the social aspect), but I reject TV news in part because they just don't cover anything in the kind of depth I want. It's news-lite. Print journalism presents far more information, which is easy to augment with video or other visual aids when you're getting your print journalism online.
Also, sensationalism bias.
