I'm SOOO Sick Of Bad News!!

    Sometimes I watch or read the news and I just have to get this off my chest sort of speak, I'm tired of seeing stories like school shootings, drug busts, teachers having sex with their students and lots of other bad news, yes it happens but the news crew choose to cover those stories far to often.  I know that fear brings ratings but is it really nessesary?  People watch or read the news because they want to know what's going on beyond their normal routine or other words it's a very basic need.  let's put it this way, it's like if subway said "if you don't eat here, you will grow fat, get a heart attack or die of starvation."(Ironiclly they do somewhat)  So I would like to see more positive things for a change or at least tone down the fear factor; there's probably plenty of people out there developing personality disorders from watching too much of this trash(to me that would answer a question from the movie "Bowling for Columbine").  I've almost lost my breakfast hearing about a kid turned into roadkill on KING 5 news this morning, sick!

    Oh and the today show, at times it's alright by most of the time it's just unessesary social conventinal propaganda like for instance love relationships, that topic is not about the group but about the two people in love and that's one of the few things out there that you can't set "group" norms, I should know my old girlfriend was a tomboy and that brings my last point but not related to the topic, there are no mental differences between the genders.  Their are pysical difference no debate there but mental differences is a myth to me, My old girlfriend and I used to have farting contest when we were kids and she farted in my face once(Yes believe me I've "checked" to see if she's a girl nuch nuch).

I never watch american commerical "news" programs - 'cause they're not news, they should change the name to 'the salacious gossip show' - it would be truth in advertising, And they're ratings would probably improve as well!

its sad to say it is all about ratings, news shows that are upbeat, don't have as good of ratings. Iraq hardly made a mention on the news from Jan to mid march, why, because nothing bad was happening. bad news sells.
