To Quote some old time newspaper man, “if it bleeds it leads” would seem to be an accurate representation of what we are victim to three times a day on the news. If that’s not enough for you try the cable news network’s where you are treated to despair 24 hours a day.
Example
Lead story tonight, 14 year old girl has baby in school bathroom and tries to flush live baby down toilet. Category 1
Why do we need to know this? Shouldn’t this be kept between the child, the school administer and the parents? What about this story other than pure shock and disgust impact my life?
4 men lead by women to secluded area expecting sexual liaison instead robbed. Category 2 if you are a man that uses prostitutes. Category 4 for the rest of us!
Opponents of border fence site wildlife migratory blockage as reason enough not to build fence. Category 4
Are you kidding me?
1 in 5 women returning from serving their country in Iraq are reporting they were victims of sexual abuse. Category 2
If this is an accurate and true statement then we have two choices. Remove all women from combat and combat support roles, or launch a comprehensive education program to bring our young men under control. I thought we have tried to do that. How many times now?
Hamburger Buns recalled because milk not listed as an ingredient. Category 2 or 4
Depending on your lactose tolerance.
And finally, Kid wins a $10,000 scholarship for an essay. The subject; how his Father murdered his Mother. At the award ceremony he thanked both his Mother and Father. Category 3
Sorry but this was the only story that had any uplifting aspect, he did write an award winning essay! Didn’t he?
I need a glass of warm milk!
