Well, there's good news, and there's good news

News isn't news unless it's miserable.

Economic meltdown, climate disaster, genocide and global poverty.  THAT's what we want from our news.  Nobody wants to hear uplifting chronicles of kaleidoscopic optimism.  The Pollyannas of this grisly world are mere fictional confection.

No news is good news, right?  Wrong, according to Google News (well, a reskin from Fugue).
