Let me guess, this guy says unalive instead of dead… I agree that perhaps local news could be more upbeat, but nationally or globally, there’s not enough lipstick to put on that pig. When it’s bad,.it’s bad. Problem here isn’t not enough good news but not enough journalism – real reporting. It’s just propaganda, spin and/or regurge.

  No. There are many global trends that show the world is improving in many areas.
  They’re just never reported because they don’t get the views.

Network News is a dreadfest of sad and enraging stories. Skip to the funnies.
