Great thread and I have thought about this so much.

I am currently so annoyed at the coverage of the case of the 15 year old girl being ganged raped and beaten as others watched.

On CNN they have replayed the interview of one eye witness who describes in detail what he saw ( and watched for 30 minutes) . Hasn't this girl been brutalized enough? Have they acquired her permission to KEEP talking about her attack? I doubt it!

I would love to invent a station that would report on the good things and heroes in this world.. highlight teachers, nurses, firefighters etc..

The case with the boy in the balloon is another one.. its now a big joke. Are people forgetting there are kids here who were used by their parents and now
this poor kid will go through life as the "Balloon Boy"...where is our compassion?

Maybe no one would watch but as long as we focus over and over on the bad stuff we think that is all there is.
