Media of today

I see that these days have changed with how the media is able to persuade the viewers of today. I find it odd that people sometimes find there daily bit of news not from FOX or ABC but from tv shows like the Daily show or the Colbert Report. The types of news that I see more often than not is someone is lost or has been killed, yes it's sad but what of the good that happened? I wish to see everything that has happened; good or bad so long as I am imformed.
