oh they do. happy things just don't create revenue for the news outlets

that's very cynical, but probably true. She still cries most times she watches it tho.

that's why I don't watch the news anymore. I read my news online, so I can pick and choose my headlines. Less sad that way.

it may be cynical but unfortunately, people watch to be entertained/excited; sadness/madness gets people going

read a book once that argued against watching TV news because it upset you about things you had no way of changing.

and some watch other's misfortunes to feel better about their own lives... sick really.

it just makes me feel miserable, so I don't watch it very often. Watched it last night tho, & cried myself to sleep.

on the other hand i don't watch tv news because it is appallingly imbalanced these days. prefer newspapers myself.

she only ever watches the BBC, which is relatively fair.

that yesterday was a bad day for news, especially for animal lovers in the UK.
