I too decided to give attention to the good & positive news, although seldom, that I would hear about. It seems like, especially in Las Vegas, that the news was becoming just another tv station that was competing for ratings by trying to put the most shocking, depressing or absolutely ridiculous and not important, info out to catch the viewers interest. Whatever happened to just reporting the news for the sake of informing us about what is happening in our area, good or bad. I feel like if they would give more positive recognition to people doing good things in our communities then people would value doing good things and act upon it. Anyways thats my 2 cents. I just started reading the 1st Harry Potter book so I look forward to getting to the last one. I know I am slow to get on the Harry Potter train but for some reason I wasn't interested before. I have just now started having an interest in reading more fiction books just for the sake of reading. It will be good for me.Doug and Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552138432842522591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18605112.post-40063481500281715182007-08-01T18:40:00.000-05:002007-08-01T18:40:00.000-05:00I know what you mean...it seems the only news bein...I know what you mean...it seems the only news being reported is either really bad stuff or really stupid stuff that nobody SHOULD care about--like the Paris thing... Anyway, the other night the TV was on while I was fixing dinner and one of the headliners on one of those EXTRA programs was about some cheerleader chick in Utah who got hit in the head with the basketball while she was cheering. Did it kill her? No. Did she have to go to the hospital? No. Is she going to sue or create any further drama? No. So who the heck cares? My thoughts exactly. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00906401217210340529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18605112.post-84615189137495676562007-07-31T10:35:00.000-05:002007-07-31T10:35:00.000-05:00Hey Nikki!!

Love your blogs as always!<BR/><BR/>I used to have those experiences with the news until I started podcasting APM: Marketplace and other great National Public Radio news stations-- it feels like a whole new world!! I recommend it! The podcasts are free on iTunes and you don't even have to have an iPod to listen to them! My home feels full every day of information and news good and bad-- but mostly positive! I think that the general media would like us to believe that the world is completely a dark hole, but I have learned that it just isn't that way!! Have fun podcasting if you don't podcast already!!Tristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822773442879919471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18605112.post-8340601723658391032007-07-30T11:26:00.000-05:002007-07-30T11:26:00.000-05:00a very good read (your blog)...

I have also been very upset with current events for the past several years and have stopped watching the news and usually only glance thru the local paper for 'good news'. I've found that it's ok. I'm not always in the know about every horrendous thing that's happened, but the really important stuff gets to me quickly by word of mouth; I can stay a lot happier that way :)<BR/>OH and thanks for not spoiling harry potter 7 for me! I've been taking my sweet time in reading it. :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09370571471383865415noreply@blogger.com
