You think if they had a program called "Happy News", would anyone watch it? Basically, the program would only cover good and happy items.

happy news, naked news, sensationalist news...it's all crap. As much as a news hound as I can be, I despise what passes for local or national news nowadays. If I hear another sensationalized, titillating news hour about killings, murders, drive-bys, meth
