Is there no good news in the world? There's precious little in this thread.

Good news doesn't sell the papers or get the ratings. Bad news does.

Totally.
And it seems like there are more news outlets now. So there's a huge competition to get stuff out there and when there's nothing to report we get the stories making news that probably wouldn't even qualify as being newsworthy 10 years ago. We have 24 hour news stations that need to fill all 24 hours with something, so lots of times we get repitition and garbage filler stories. Like who was eliminated from 'American Idol' last night etc.

Good news...

Hmm. Casablanca named best movie script?

CNN just spent a lengthy amount of time talking about how good the U.S. economy is doing. This was sparked by today's unemployment figures which (despite local pockets of badness) are amazingly good. (Fox News was also talking about the same topic earlier but that isn't worth mentioning since it would just be a sign of the channel whitewashing the problems of the administration.)
