That is really sad that a reporters goal would be to try to bring people down by getting their ass if they can. Media mostly only focuses on the negative and it is one of the reasons it sucks. On the rare times I watch the evening news it is negative of bad news stories 9 out of 10 stories. There is a lot of good going on in this world but the media pushes the bad news and then throws in one fluff peace to make the viewers feel better.
