Answer 1

Belonging to the Evil Corporations as they do they must turn a profit (now THERE'S a bad word!) - as a result, having observed that the general public is more fascinated by bad news than it is by anything else (much less being informed) that's what they have on the menu. Simply put, no room for good news.

And then, of course, you've got the morons who come across good news and are CONVINCED that it's some sort of conspiracy. But that's another story.

This is but a few. You won't see this on the news because the media has it's own agenda. The media is interested in it's own pocketbook and cares for nothing and no one. Not even the men and women that defend the foundation of their buisness' exsistance. The first amendment.

Answer 3

Now that Bush is president, the liberal media reports nothing but bad news, anywhere they can find it.
When Clinton was president, they tried to hide all the bad news.
It is brain washing by using liberal propaganda.

On the bright side, Fox News gives balanced honest news....... so far.

Answer 4

Because "good news" is basically just the ordinary, run of the mill daily happenings.
Nobody reports that a plane landed safely and on time, just as planned.

Answer 5

Because it goes against the media's agenda and it apparently doesn't sell. What is interesting is the Newspapers are losing readers by the droves, and Fox News just keeps on gaining an audience. hmmm......

Answer 6

The public isn't interested into good news as much as bad, shocking news.

Answer 7

Because you are too stupid to find it yourself.

Hooray for the snarky Imbecile!

Answer 8

action normally derives from fear and anger. to acheive an agenda you must gain sympathetic allies. the mass makes for a great ally. think about that.

Answer 9

Simple. Good news doesn't sell.

Answer 10

define good news
