text: I think that the media affects most people negatively.  It depresses me to see the reality of this world.  But the reality of it isn't the media's fault.  It's how life on planet Earth is. They just publish it.\n\nHate, jealousy and strife abounds.  Wars rages around us.  Murder.  Burglaries.  Innocent children are abused and molested.\nWomen are abused,raped and sodomized.  Children go hungry, as well as adults.  Children are orphaned. Animals are mistreated.  We see tragic accidents.  Hurricanes destroy homes and lives. People are sick and dying.  We see racial crimes and police violence.  Respected clergymen and politicians cheat and lie.\n\nOf course, the media does celebrity news, weddings, award shows, county fairs, etc.  But, it seems the negative is more publicized.  Would the media have jobs without it?  It sells.
