Some believe that the word NEWS came about because of the acronym for North East West South
Today it means the same thing - current events from the North, East, West and South of any place.
It also means that if there is a big buzz on the news, that there's probably something bad happening... to someone, somewhere or something. We like to watch the news to stay informed about good things and bad, but mostly its bad - stock market, economy, politicians, country against country, who lost what game, who shot who, murder, rape, suicide, accidents... the happy things if any, are so whimsical that not everyone is stirred by it. The News is so peculiar in that way. The News is also owned by individuals with their own agendas, so I believe, no news is unbiased. In fact that's why I enjoy the shows that make fun of The News (although it took me a while to find the humor in such serious issues) because in the end it's all a matter of perspective. The News can be disheartening or uplifting at times, in example when a country gets freedom, or something successful happened somewhere (ie. a safe rocket launch), or when an endangered species in a zoo gives birth, or your home team won a game! Those moments are lovely. Then there are those moments that are unforgettable, ie. when Columbia Crashed, When 911 happened, when the tsunami hit India, when the tsunami hit Japan, when Egypt got freedom... etc. Some crazy stuff! The News just reflects how crazy we get as we progress in the years, or are we becoming more developed?
Most of the time weather it is local (Ohio) or world news, it is just painful to watch- the suffering, the violence, the pain, and the stupidity, intolerance, hate... Other than the weather, that might be the best part to the whole "News" Or in case of paper it might be the comic strip section... Radio- might be the music section, internet might be the Movie reviews... It is all NEWS!!
To me: The day "The News" doesn't make me cry or bring me close to tears, will be a great day! We will have learned to live in peace, to love each other despite differences, to help and give jobs, take care of the planet and the people; ... who knows!
Let's stay positive and be conscious of making the NEWS in our lives a good one for those around us!
Breathe!
