No news is good news

I have heard some people say that they don't watch the news on TV or read the newspaper anymore. When I look at the following headlines that I picked from the first few pages of a free newspaper today and notice how many negative terms like 'fears', 'pressures', 'anger', 'death', etc., I think I can understand why:

"DISMAL AUCTION PRESSURES HOME PRICES"
"BABY STARVED TO DEATH AS PARENTS SPENT DOLE ON SMOKES"
"BLAME ME FOR KILLINGS, SAYS FORMER WIFE"
"INFLACTION FEARS RISE ON FOOD AND RENT"
"STRAINS OF ANGER AT ORCHESTRA WASTING TAXPAYERS' MONEY"
"POISON FEARS OVER HERBAL REMEDY"
"NURSE IN CHEMO-DEATH CASE ADMITS SOME TRAINING MISSING"
