But there is an issue of proportion and a direct cause/effect element that need discussing or the problem will continue to get worse. And then you have fewer good stories to cover.I agree that our news is inadequate, biased and whacked, but I also think everyone with half a brain knows there are a lot of dangers we face out there in life. My childhood might well have been on another planet, it's so different from my kids and grandkids.
But I don't think it's all that healthy for someone to spend a lot of time focusing on the negatives in life without allowing the positives to be in their thoughts as well.
And to especially put up black on white crime stories is as racist as IM2's putting just white on black crimes or poor black man stories.
