Thanks for doing this program! The news has become such a staple in everyone's lives that they don't really see the affect it is having on them.  I eliminated the news from my life after realizing I was afraid to fall asleep at night.  My house was surely going to start on fire or someone would break in and I'd be the next murder featured on the nightly news.  Reading these horror stories before starting your day and listening to them right before bed at night affects how you view the world.  And the world presented in by the news is only happening to a very small percentage of people.  You can say that about good news also, but its affect does not make me want to hide in my house and barr the doors.  Thanks again.
