The overwhelming bulk of our News is not good. Maybe that's the nature of the news or of 24/7 TV that needs something to say and their mindset is: "If it bleeds, it leads."
Most of our mainstream news now corrosive and toxic - this ain't no 'Fourth Estate,' of revolutionary France where the press was consider a source of truth and the average persons' interests.
Now it appears the interests of Big Business and war profiteers dominate. Now a reporter is someone who can read a fax from the Pentagon and cut and paste it into the 'news.'
I can't imagine how difficult your job is, maybe the toughest in the world. You do get stuck in a 'Media & DC bubble," where people poll and attack your every move but I hope you can keep it in your heart and see and known the majority of the real people of this nation appreciate you and your work -- I hope you see that when you travel about.
Of course the news will always pick out the one worst event or comment, but everyone I know would be honored to meet you. You carry all our hopes and ideals.
Keep up the good work.
