The word "news" should be changed to the "depressings"

[StuartD]

I realize that it's only people dying and blowing up and anarchy that gets ratings... but damn... news is morbid.

I remember a local station used to dedicate the final 3 minutes of every 6 o'clock news broadcast to the "good news story of the day". A whole THREE minutes!

No wonder the majority of people are depressed in this world. They shove the bad news down our throats at every chance.

I agree.

That's the definition of news - break from normal activity. They keep on showing that because that's the content that sells. They're just doing their jobs like everybody else.

Yeah, I know... like I said, I realize it's what gets the most ratings. But it still sucks.

People just gotta have every morbid detail. Pretty sad. If they didn't over glorify killing and chaos, then perhaps some people wouldn't be so infatuated with it.

People dont want happy, they want shocking, and anything else worth talking about to their friends.

Reminds me of that Bowling for Columbine film.

I think he discusses exactly that in quite a bit of detail.

Damn, I forgot what I was going to say.

If it bleeds, it leads.

The news are not very good these days

[AnalProbe]

Most little kids do not watch the news.

Look how positive and "full of life" they are.

Schools, Bad Neighbourhood and Media destroy everything you had when you where born.

Don't blame your parents, they went through the whole enchilada themselves.

Just my
