I don't know. I think you give people a little less credit than they might deserve. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who are different. I know lots of people who don't even get the newspaper and only watch the news for the weather because they're sick of it. I guess that's just also due to the crowd i hang out with too. Oh well. But the news has been doing the same old for over one hundred years, so no one really knows if that's still the truth (that tragedies still sell more papers). But it's true that the news only focuses on tragedies of people, and I agree that yes it's quite sad. But that's why we're here right?
