The news reports keep drumming into us that we have just experienced the worst decade of our lives. It keeps repeating all the catastrophes and losses we've had - both financial and human. Is that what makes news? Where are the reports of all the good? Does that not sell advertising? Why are we so programmed to hear the bad news?
I know I wrote a master's thesis on this topic but it seems like the media just perpetuates it. This is what I like about being on social networking sites. People post the good as well. I like that. I want to live in a more positive world. And, I can choose not to watch the traditional news channels.
