The mass media, especially TV News is all about SCARING you!! You will never find anything positive in the mainstream media!!!

You can watch any evening news program you like, and absolutely every story is designed to make you FEAR!

Of course, the exception to this is about the kangaroo that got loose in residential Melbourne, or the feel-good "Wednesday's Child" that they show here in Chicago about how some sad kid needs a foster parent.....

So, of course, when it comes to the internet and relationships that are found on-line, the only thing that NBC, CNN etc can come up with is some story about predators on-line and how the internet is BAD. Just when I was a kid and there were stories on TV about how playing D&D and listening to heavy metal meant you were somehow a devil worshiper.

My attitude towards anything I see on TV news is 'yeah, whatever... just get on with the sales pitch and let me see the Cubs....'
