Just a Thought

If you pay attention to the news media enough, you're bound to become the slightest bit paranoid. I don't know how many times the television news reiterates that it's not safe to step outside your door. According to "the news," there's bad people everywhere, just waiting to kill you. Or it's something about Michael Jackson. (But who knows, he may be old news by time I finish writing this).

And if that's not bad enough, now, it's not safe to eat.



Or drink water.

Journalism is dying. There's plenty of reasons why. Readers of this blog, I'm sure you have your theories. So do I.

But maybe, just maybe, if the news media outlets could stop telling us that the world is a shit place and that we're all going to die in some horrible fashion, just maybe, journalism could find an audience again. Maybe, the news media could tell us something nice once in awhile. Provide some hope in this failing economy, failing environment, lying politicians, war torn, blah, blah, blah world.

Just a thought.
