Dunno what impression you get from the news but that's what I hear from them.
Other that a few stock pics of the Duchess looking cute with her kid, we see almost nothing on the news which is not specifically regarding what absolute shit the entire human race has become since there is no redeeming feature anywhere. If you do see someone doing positive, it will usually be a smug story about cops saving orphans from zombies or some such. Everyone else is shit but not them, I guess.
"The Guardian" is somewhat better about that and features a motley array of editorial writers varying from interesting to tiresome neo femme crap which they have made no more than one more form of narcissism. However, they do run the most articles on art, some of which are novel, and often the best human interest pictures. From them the attitude is more like the human race should disappear soon but here's some cool stuff in the meantime.
It was a bit of a surprise yesterday to see overwhelming demand for articles about politics and the best thing to do with that evidence ... all together now ... is ignore it.
So here's a pic of a kid and some ducks:
The news of the weird dropped off in interest because so much of it is cruel. Many times it will be some whacked-out things people on meth did but we could see cheap morality plays in "Star Trek" and we won't take any more of them ... unless they come with spaceships. More and more it looked to me like running them was only a way to feel superior ... for no reason.
Sometimes you will hear people speak of Pope Francis as a shining light and it's true but it's not really warming my heart much to hear there's only a single good one out of six or seven billion people in the world.
You know that's not true so where are they in the news??
The answer in computers was always, if you don't see it then make it yourself or shut up. However, there are more sweet articles here than you may think ... but ... that's not what draws people. That's not a lament but rather evidence some other solution is necessary.
Whoa, here's yer conspiracy: what if all the content on the news is specific toward describing the descent of humanity into bestiality because it reinforces the idea Christians are better than that and the church is the only sanctuary.
(Ed: CNN is nothing more than an evangelical ministry going to Africa to make them hate gay people?)
Well, maybe it is reaching a little bit.
There was a rare sighting yesterday of Southern liberal and she was hot too.
(Ed: she was probably lying about the South!)
Well ... thanks for that ray of sunshine.
Maybe they have been successful in portraying the idea all the animals will die, the Earth will melt, but it doesn't matter since we will all die from Zika anyway.
(Ed: the animals are dying or they're being killed by rich tourists!)
Most of them don't disappear but we get bent when ones we deem really special disappear. There's no denial here of ecological disasters which are fairly commonplace but saying 'all the animals die' is a wild overstatement.
People are capable of being immensely beautiful and I've seen it but they're not so beautiful when they're scared. They easily can be beautiful again without changing any other thing than removal of the source of the fear and that absolutely does not mean by killing more people.
It's not my purpose to tell you most people are good because you already know it. My question is why so many stopped believing it. Yevette hasn't stopped believing but she is deeply frustrated and hurt that people are doing so poorly in taking care of the country and many have become so selfish. All that notwithstanding her belief is still generally at heart people are good.

"I Still Believe" is from "Miss Saigon" and I was fortunate enough to see that one on Broadway. The New York Times kicked the play like it was a misbehaving dog but the play is entertaining nevertheless. I also saw "Cats" on Broadway and that one was kicked all the time but it was lovely as well.
Lea Salonga is the singer in the video and I'm not really sure who was singing that night. In many ways, I think musicals often overwhelm the story with such immense gorgeosity in the music except for a really exceptional story such as "Les Miserables."

You should get out more so you see the inate good in people. If all I did was read BBC CNN Etc I would be such a cynical old coot
I prefer feel the rain and the sunshine and enjoy it
I can't but it's not me with the attitude, it's the news. The article must not have made that clear.
The incessant bad news corrupts your attitude
It turned you to the dark side young Padawan
It's the reflection of the world and people on Facebook send each other cat videos to gloss over it but that just makes them part of the problem.
Any good news coming down this low is extremely rare anyway. No need for an explanation as it's intuitively obvious. I've been puking off and on since five or six this morning so pulling good news from anywhere just now is improbable. If you read the whole article, you'll see I was trying to make some good news.
I did but you have to wade through so much ugliness to get to the upside
It has a couple of paragraphs for an intro but everyone reacts differently as I've heard different thoughts about it as well. I don't mean to argue or so as everyone reacts differently covers it just fine for me. In fact, I believe that's likely true for just about everything I ever did, especially the music.
