Sideblog: News I can handle. Finally.

March 17, 2009

Sometimes it seems like all you see on the news is the byproduct of the world’s leathal amount of suckit. It’s like a big “Bad news bear” came and crapped all over your head, for wont of more delicate expression. I used to be a news FIEND but after Matthew died, I really, really lost my stomach for it.  I am much better at handling the news now but it is still nowhere near the consumption levels I used to be capable of.

Enter a fabulous solution:

HAPPY NEWS.

The news site that is all positive, all the time.

Would I use it as my only news site? NO. But it is nice to know that there is a big sunbeam out there to penetrate through the layers of “OMG. THE WORLD IS TOO DAMN DEPRESSING TO GO ON!!!!”

DIg it.

Stumble it!

  • That’s awesome! With all the anxiety I’ve been having this pregnancy I just can’t deal with the “real” news anymore.

    That’s good. Quite frankly, the news out there is too skewed toward the negative. There’s a lot of shit out there, sure, but there’s a lot of good too, and the news telling is not proportional to reality. Why? Cause scary catastrophes sell.

    I’m not sure I entirely agree with their idea of what happy news is. I mean, I’m glad that cat is recovering after being shot in the face, but then again, what kind of world do we live in when people go around shooting cats in the face?

    A while ago, I decided to listen to the BBC World Service. I wanted to get a different perspective on the things that happen in this country, and try, at the same time, to get a larger perspective on what we do outside our borders. Along with all of that, naturally, comes the news of the world. Thank the Goddess I’ve got XM Radio and Baseball season is almost here.

    Something worth listening to.
