just wondering?If you Google "good news" you'll see there are lots of sites dedicated to just that subject. (They tend to focus on good news that fits their agendas, however, for example they might be "green" or Christian sites so keep that in mind.) But even on CNN, if you click on tabs like "Technology" or "Offbeat" you'll often find stuff that one might consider good news. :)

Yes, river season is on the way. How's that?
Oh yeah, and Jenna Jameson is in my avatar!!
And, gas went down a couple cents today.
And...hmmm, think I have some leftover beer from Easter...'bout a case or so.
As I see it, things are looking up. Don't look to see what's going on in the world, look to see what's going on in your world!!
Boat, beer, healthy family and money in your pocket! That sounds like good news!!

There ya go, Mrs Vee. Right on.
Good news? On TV?
Probably very little, good news would make you think some things might be okay, and we all know lot's of people don't make any money or gain any power under those circumstances.
Good News?
Well, my eldest son is going to graduate from HVAC-R Training in Reno next month, he's got one good job and others are a-headhuntin' him. The U.S. Army was the best thing he ever did, and that's his opinion as well as mine.
My youngest son, whom we almost lost at birth., and whom we were told would be disabled to the point where we would be tying his shoes for him for life is going to graduate from H.S. in June, a year late but he's gonna do it, he's got his own wheels and a sweet girlfriend, and is baggin' groceries after school.
Times are tough, and the world isn't as safe as we once thought it was, and my back hurts like hell for some reason today, but there is some good news out there. :D

Thats a total blessing.
My daughter was the same way. Today she is 6 and plays soccer, does summer salts all over the place.
Sometimes you just have to step back and look around and see. Thats one of the reasons I love going to the river. It takes my mind off of the crap that goes on around us.

I just saved a ton of money on my auto insurance with Geico.
Just kidding...Geico sucks. :D
But, you make a very valid point. Not only is the news obsesses with doom and gloom (can't blame 'em cuz it sells), they are also obessed with celebrities(again it sells). The news used to pride themselves on mostly serious issues, but then they had to compete with all the sensationalized crap...so they all sold out.
My solution? I don't have t.v. service in my house...no antenna, no cable, no satelite...nuthin except vidoes in our t.v.! How do we get our news? We get the WSJ, I listen to AM radio a bit, and online where we can pick and choose the stories we want to read...just like news. The WSJ runs articles on celebrities and so forth...but I can choose to ignore them. Because we don't have any t.v. service...we don't leave the t.v. on for "background noise." One side effect of not having the t.v. on is that I have 4 kids within 6 years. :D
