Why can't the media just tell the "good stories" about America instead

of reporting all those missing children, missing women, and police brutality stories? :sarcasm:

3. Yeah, where is the story about the lost puppy dog that has been found?

The Boy Scouts who walk old ladies across the street?

How fast do you think people would lunge for their remotes?

I can't believe these dunces don't understand that if it bleeds, it leads.

They should just keep following around celebrities with cameras and spying on them through their windows. I want to know what time Kevin Bacon took a crap today. Not just the time, but down to the exact second of each turd dropping down.

8. Great news! The grass is growing in my front yard, my fridge is running,

my dishwasher works, the electricity is on, the sun came out this morning.

I'm sure Americans are waiting breathlessly for updates to my good news of the day!

10. Fully 1/3 of my earnings go to government...I want timely hard info not

FLUFF pieces on what's being done to others with MY contribution.
The fourth estate used to go after the robber barons and the war profiteers.
Now it's a rare article, and not on the 6:00 news, but buried on the last pages of the newspaper.
