"...I think if people see this footage, they'll say 'Oh, my God, that's horrible'. And then they'll go on eating their dinners...." - Jack in "Hotel Rwanda"

Is it better to not watch the news, and feel a little better about life while you bask in the bliss of your ignorance? Or should we watch the news daily, even though it's 90% filled with all the negative stuff going on, so we can have a 'realistic' view of the horrors of life?

Would a news channel that only reported on positive things be watched by anyone? And if not, what does that say about our society?

hmmm......
