Yes, I DO find the it annoying to see journalists’ seeming conviction that the public needs to be jostled by their opening salvo “if it bleeds, it leads.” My “solution” is to boycott the “major” TV news, to get most of my information from KYW radio, to use their headlines to pursue online anything about which I need more in-depth information, to take even PBS in small doses, (since I think PBS has its own version of scare-tactics), and to never go anywhere close to “news” after supper!

Sounds like a great plan! Thank you. I’m halfway there already, Emma.
