The more I watch the news the more I realize that it SUCKS! Now let me clarify myself more maturely. I have noticed a steady decline in the quality of the stories that major new channels are reporting on. They basically are just reporting on "SCARE-stories" that make people want to pack their belongings and run for the hills. Ever wonder why we are now seeing so many anti-depressant drugs being advertised on TV? There is always some silly story on the news like: Why living in the city is KILLING you ? What foods may be DANGEROUS to your health (according to some foreign researcher) or Why driving is DEADLIER than ever? Although there may be truth to these stories, who wants to hear this everyday? Why not report on people or organizations from our area, nation or even worldwide that are making a real difference. Don't tell me that Oprah has completely cornered the market on positive and motivational stories! News stations need to get back to reporting NEWS-WORTHY stories again. I challenge you to watch the news today, and tally the amount of negative stories to positive stories. You'll be surprised at the enormous disparity between the two.

tell me about, it's just sad seeing this everyday and feeling sorry for people who are so scared to go out because of these stories they see everyday.
by the way checked out your posting on hybeast + Is streetwear more than girls,guns and cliches? + you beat me to the discussion topic
Couldn't agree more.Used to be eager to watch/hear/read news of the moment now I'd rather seek out my own sources or just do something however trivial or insignificant rather than cow tow to the mighty networks need for my attention.
