Why does the news mainly report depressing sad news?

  • they -the news cast and the station's staff- seem to suggest feeling a responsibility to inform people of injustices and protect them from the same, along with keeping their viewers safe from bad weather and dangerous situations that are occurring in the viewing area. it's not something i indulge in... watching the news. and that's just the local news. other 'news' outlets are plainly politically motivated and quite contrived. i watch them even less than the local news. i get my weather online. if anything is worth actually knowing, i know other people who keep track of that and will inform me, whether or not i ask.

    It's the negative actions in the world that are changing and affecting the world.

    Definitely the times that we are in. Yesterday some police were murdered about 40 miles or so from here. I think 5 police died and 6 or 7 more were wounded.

    (2 Timothy 3:1-5) But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power; and from these turn away.
