Cruel world

All,

Does the news get anyone else down? It causes anxiety in a way. I just saw so many unfortunate things while trying to see the blasted traffic report. Somerimes I try to shield myself from things.

You've got the racial despair, animal and child abuse, war... yadda yadda.

This is why I don't watch the news. It's so much negative, sad, upsetting stuff. I sometimes hate that I am uninformed as a result, but I just can't stand it most days. I feel like there should be a better balance of the good and the bad, but the balance just isn't there. When Im feeling in a news mood I go to Fark. It makes me laugh more often than not and I get to pick and choose the types of stories I want to read.

I had to stop watching it and reading it on yahoo news.

All,

There's no money in good news apparently. I disagree. We might be anxious people, but at least we're not criminal garbage.
