So much of what I hear and see on the 24-7 news outlets is negative, mean-spirited, even hateful. Now, I admit that I watch "my" 24-7 news channel, just as I am sure that others watch "their" 24-7 news channel. CNN seems to occupy what might pass as the middle ground among the 24-7 news channels; MSNBC holds down the left; FOX News claims the right.
No matter when you tune in to these channels, within a short span of time, it seems that someone is railing against someone or something. There is much in our country and our world that needs to be improved upon, of course, and heaven knows we ought to complain about what needs to change. But, I would like to hear less whining. Less bashing. Less name-calling. Less fear mongering. Less hate spewing.
Could we have a little more actual "news" and less "opinion." please. That's my request. It will likely go unheard.
