I now have a tv in the kitchen so when I'm making food or cleaning up , I can watch it and just see the nightly news or the morning news. Most of the time the kids are off and playing and I can actually watch without worrying about them being exposed to anything too bad. Except tonight... stabbings, killings, robberies... I know that it's not just in this area and that alot of places are like this, but still... It's really sad. I have to shuttle them out of the room or mute it or go to the cooking channel real quick. Now, I'm not going to shelter them completely forever, but they are all three 5 years old and under... There's no need to make them neurotic before there's a need to be.
I do wonder whether it's really that bad... There uhave always been bad things happening, but it seemed the media didn't really report on such things. Then there was the change to sensational journalism and let's see who's opening headlines could sound worse. If the tops three stories are about murder, abuse or Britney, turn it off right now. You will be better off.

I completely agree. I only watch TV at the end of the day lying in bed on a TV that has only 5 channels so my choices are slim. I watch 2 reruns of Frasier then King of Queens then good night. Not sure why so many people love the doom and gloom . . . . . some people really do. Are they depressed to begin with or are they so happy that it doesn't seem to phase them?
Makes home and your problems seem a little easier to appreciate doesn't it?
