6. Tragedy or News Bulletin?

It was a nice, optimistic and sunny day in summer and the Sun was still generously distributing hopes. My friend and I were playing a game together and the TV was on. The news hour commenced then, and after a few news, our attention was drawn to the screen. The reason was that there was only tragedy in the entire bulletin! "The painful death of the van driver", "the heart-breaking drama of a young girl" and so on! After the bulletin was over, we realized there wasn't any happy news, any. It was just unbelievable. Since then I've lost confidence and faith in the news bulletins, and the media in general, because that showed me how the news agencies alter their policy regarding the news that would create the biggest impact, instead of the most significant and vital ones. Corrupted media.

  1. yes, it's disgraceful that news reports tend to focus on the gruesome and the tragic. That's why alternative media is so wonderful...
