Well, I typoed something. I meant VE-Day when I typed D-Day. From what I understand, everyone remembers where they were when they learned the war was over in Europe. That was, to most people, good news. My bad.

I don't think it's a matter of media not being able to "imprint" good news, but rather that things on the scale of imprint are usually not good at all.

Which makes the moon walk so much more fantastic. And I wish something else good on a similar scale would happen again during my lifetime.
