Typical of news media these days… “Is it too late?” Why do we need more bad news? How about emphasising the *Upside* every now an then. I don’t mean that news media ought to be all bubbly or tragically optimistic, but there’s no necessity to render all news as bad events, too late, too soon, not enough of this, not enough of that, etc..

I’m not having a good day by the looks of things… I apologise.
