If the government really controled the media, then there would be MUCH MUCH MORE happy news about the war. Obviously they don't control it. It's become such a liberal bias that it's not funny.

Maybe we're not hungry for bad news. Maybe the news media doesn't have any good news on its menu. Maybe the news chef throws out the good news and keeps only the bad so we blame ourselves for everything.

No sure why do you say U.S. hungry for bad news. Nobody is hungry for bad news. There are only bad news out there right now. When the liars running everything there will not be any good news. Believe me you have not really heard any bad news yet.

The Gov controls the media. The media needs a Gov licence to operate. If they don't do what the gov wants, they don't get a licence. The bad news takes away from the really F#&*ked things our gov does to us every day.

We've been reading Newspapers too long. Bad seems to attract:
Why do people go to speedways
Hockey games
Boxing
Good ole violence! Legalized of course!

Bad news sells. News companies want profit. Supply and demand is all it is.

Very Very Good Question! Thank you for asking it!
My guess it is selfishness, self-centerness, and the GenX cynicism. That is only a guess.

One word... "Choices" Where do we send aid. Our resources are limited so we want to attend to the worst first.
