According to the media this is how America’s future looks: we’re either all going to be taken out by Isis or Ebola’s gonna get us. Either way, it looks pretty bleak. Now I totally get that not all news can be good news, but why does the news NEVER focus on the positives? Honestly people I feel like I’m reading a 7th grade girl’s diary every time I turn on the news, it’s just depressing and doesn’t even have Avril Lavigne playing in the background.
Devon Still, a tackle for the Bengals, has a daughter who’s battling cancer and guess what? When she was diagnosed he put his career on hiatus to be by her side. The Texans recently sent Leah a Frozen care package, the Saints head coach bought 100 of Still’s jerseys and gave them to the local Boys and Girls Club to raise money for pediatric cancer awareness. This got less coverage than Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda video. I MEAN COME ON PEOPLE. Does no one else see anything wrong with this? But really, let’s just keep playing the Ray Rice video over and over and over again or do you prefer more in-depth debates as to why Miss New York has no talent? Negative news does exist and it’s important to cover as well but all I’m saying is that maybe a change up would be nice once in a while? Throw in a story about a little kid who stands up to bullies or how the NFL is rallying behind one of their own, maybe even the video of an entire train of people pulling together to save a trapped man. If I wanted to learn about how awful the world is, I’d read an Edgar Allen Poe novel.
