what is BIGGER news...

a group of people DYING, or some damn road getting built or some amusement park opening?

I mean yes, the news is going to be about the bigger, more important things.  If you think for a minute that some shitty building getting put up is more important than a human life, well, you suck.

If it's a war it's negative - you can put a positive spin on it but then that is what it is - war is not a good thing.

That's one way to view it, though that really is a pessimistic view.  War is a necessary evil, but there are always great stories that come out of every war.  Heroism.  Compassion.  It really isn't all bad news.  My daughter's teacher has a son in Iraq.  He said his son has told him more than once how the son is approached by Iraqis on the street all the time who thank him and our soldiers for being there.  I've heard that from other soldiers who have been on the ground too.   

And think about this:  we have soldiers and their family members who read the news too.
