Anything I Want, huh?

For this week's blog topic, I would like to ask this: is there ever any good news anymore??

The reason I ask? Well, check your local news, national sites such as CNN, or any news for that matter! It seems that everything that happens in today's world is negative. For example, the current headline on CNN.com is "Town in shock after deputy kills 6." Wow. After a quick glance over the other headlines, nothing else on the site seems to be of praise or any other form of good news. My mom and I were talking on the phone just last week and this topic came up. She was reading the news and this article was talking about an old man who always went to the same Bojangles every morning, ordered the same thing, and sat at the same place with all of his friends. Apparently this had been happening for quite some time and the staff had become friends with the man. After all, they saw each other basically every day! This article went on about how nice he was and everything, and my mom was finally excited to see something good-hearted and positive in the news. And then came the punchline: one morning, the man was getting out of his vehicle and fell in the parking lot. Yep, you guessed it! He was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Point proven. Why can't there be anything good ever portrayed in the news? For one thing, it seems to be a popular belief now that the three main things the public loves are money, sex, and violence. I know I am not alone on this matter feeling that I am tired of all the negativity portrayed in the world. Yes, bad things happen but on the contrary so do many, many good things! I just want to know why it seems none of the good things are ever publicized as much as the bad news!
