Television News

I don't watch that much television at home, what I do see is usually in the break room at my work. I watched yesterday for a short portion and saw a report on KGW channel 8 about a double homicide that was now believed to be a murder/suicide. I did not get a chance to truly watch the entire news broadcast. The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about TV news is something big and bad just happened. It seems like there's always more negative news than positive. I'm not saying there isn't both, it is possible that since the negative side grabs ones attention more that it's what is remembered most at the end of the news. I prefer to get my news updates through online news source, I find it less depressing at times to be able to read what you want to know about without the extras.
