Most people are appalled by the negativity of the press. It is as if reporters are looking only for the negative...actively promoting a false reality that our lives must really stink. These are the people who fundamentally hate the USA and everything for which it stands. Kathie and I laugh when the press has to report something positive...because it's so painful for them...they just can't do it, without adding a "BUT"....as in..."New report suggests the world is great...BUT...the sky may fall". I decided some time back that I ought to start recording the BUTS...but...I did not have a good forum. This blog affords us the opportunity...so I will start with today's news and keep adding. We take The Herald Journal and USA Today so we will identify headlines by date, page and either HJ or USA. If you should run across a good example, share it (with source information) and we will add it to the list.
Logan life expectancy No. 8 in US...but...city misses spot on AARP's healthy towns list. HJ: 28 July, 2008, page A3.
Study: Teen suicide rate down slightly, still high. CNN Sept 2, 2008. Submitted by Missy. This is "good news about bad news"...or...as Missy says...the glass half-full or half-empty scenario.
