Critical Review: The News Is Bad

I'm not sure what else to do. In order to keep myself from becoming completely jaded by the evil things in this world I have to stop reading the news.

Case in point:
The biggest news story right now is about a seemingly "personable and well-liked" person locking his daughter in his basement (along with three of the seven children he had with her). If reading about the disgusting things he has done to everyone involved isn't enough, he may only get 20 years for ruining eight people directly (his daughter, their six children, and his wife) and numerous indirectly.

First of all, how can something like this happen? Second, why does something so evil get so much attention?




Why can't we read about this on the front page:


Create Providence:

Professional artists from New York City embracing and empowering communities in extreme poverty, making space for God to move.

Until our society can change it's fascination with evil, I'm boycotting the news(ok I'm being a little dramatic). I honestly don't know how I can invest time in a media outlet that is sensationalizing all the evil without mentioning all the amazing things people are doing all around our great country.
