When we listen, if we do, to the litany of death, tragedy and damage on the daily news it is pretty clear that news nowadays automatically implies negative news. If someone gets shot in a city of over 80,000 people that’s news. The 80,000 people who were not shot just aren’t news. One aircraft crashes, that’s news. The 500+ safe flights aren’t mentioned. To constant listeners the world seems full of nothing but bad news. Then people start to take pills for depression instead of turning off the bad news machine. It’s a funny world.
