Why is it that when ever you watch the news, it's never good news? For the entire 30 minute program, all they have to talk about is who was killed, what caught fire, who's missing, and any other negative thing they can find to talk about. If you're lucky during the last 20 seconds of the show they might tell you about how some dog saved it's owner from drowning. Note that the super pup will never be a pit bull. According to television those are the most vile dogs in existence...or at least that's what they want you to believe. An animal is only as good as it's owner treats and teaches it to be. (I feel the same way about children, but that's a completely different topic.)
Of course it's all about the fear tactics and that's how the media keeps us watching, but why not mix it up a little. Give us a reason to want to go outside. I gave up cable television over 2 years ago and only check the news online for the weather. But now I think I'll just direct my web browser straight to weather.com or something like that. Just bypass the news all together.
It's sad to know that they want you to be afraid all the time. It's even sadder that we fall for it every day.
