All The News Print To Fit
In the news today, we find some unremitting good news. Well, that really isn't news is it?
The employment rate is 95.1%. About 29,564 domestic flights took off and landed without incident. Four million Iraqi children got safely to school. Meanwhile, their parents shopped, drove to work or otherwise went about their daily routines, mostly  overwhelmingly  without getting assassinated."
News? Actually the opposite of what you get in the "news." Read the rest from Steve Salerno. It'll open your eyes.

Imagine all the people that are in the bad news business! While injustices and tragedy need the attention of all, there seems to be a nearly "National Enquirer" quality to much of what I read, see and hear. Few dig just a bit deeper to determine the validity of many of the stories.
Wonder why? Further, I wonder why the quiet anguish of far too many isn't reported on. Maybe it is not glitzy enough.
