Long ago, we didn’t have the news access that we have today.
I remember discussing this with my mother. She said that yes, there is a lot of negativity in the immediacy of the news. I told her that was true, BUT, we never used to hear as much good news, either. I mean with technology, we can now read about the news in rural Iowa, human interest stories about good things that never would have made it to newsprint in the past.
