You ever notice the news is a overkill on some stories?such as weather today here in houston or 9_11or murder cases .why cant the news give us some positive news on people?

Weather is big news today. All 4 channels and so far all day and into this evening. 

In the Omaha World Herald newspaper, they have three reporters that are dedicated to doing stories of local people doing "good works". There is at least one detailed article in the paper running every day. Sometimes the article will be a page long. You can even send an email in regards to a story for them to investigate. It really makes a difference reading about someone doing good in our city.

I can't stand when they do that! Especially about the weather. I understand if there are tornado warnings and letting people know when to take shelter, but to go on and on showing the same shots over. And on 9/11 I turned on BBC and watched their coverage. I got all the info I needed without the emotional edge.

What got me last night there were two amber alerts. You would think the news would lead off with those, After all we are talking about two children who needed help. But they lead off with the same murder stories from the night before that we had already heard about. The Amber Alerts were the third story in. The both boys were found safe, but I didn't hear that on the news this morning. I had to look it up online today.

I tend to just turn off the tv or watch cable channels on bad weather days. If there is a serious issue like a tornado warning, cable stations will break in with the Emergency Braodcast System. Plus I have an app on my phone to give me alerts.

Yes. Why do you think I stopped watching it?
