Is this the news or the downer of the day?

Cars are sliding off the roads, hit and runs, murder, power outages, whats causing cancer now? All this before 10 AM?

I am trying to have my morning cup of coffee and now have seemed to have lost my appetite for my oatmeal. Maybe the morning news was a bad choice. It seems as though Dallas/Ft Worth is the most dangerous place to live in the country. I kept watching to see if the news would hit a brighter topic...but no. It went from horrible weather, to a hit and run, to a mistakenly killed musician, and so on. The worst part of all this, is that every news program runs like this.

I know we spoke about the fact that violence sells...but have we ever tried otherwise? Would it be so wrong to stick a few good stories out there? Something that may give the viewer some hope that the world is not that scarey?

I think we need to know that there is violence amoung our community, but I also think that showing some good news wouldn't hurt anyone. I am more conscience about the local news now. I am now on a search to see who puts atleast one good news story in their program. I will get back to you once I find my answer.
