Good morning, A potpourri of quickies today… HAPPY HEADLINES The best thing about big sporting events, award shows, lowering crime, strong economic data, medical and scientific breakthroughs, and heroic rescues is not just that they entertain and inform. It is also that these positive headlines are good for our mental health. Sadly, positive news doesn’t sell. Because it doesn’t sell, there isn’t enough of it provided for our consumption. We are granted little respite from the endless parade of bad news sold by the media and on-line. This constant barrage of bad news is reason enough to abandon cable news and its negativism. It just isn’t healthy, as it plays into the current climate of strained mental health in society.
