Why do you think that all of the shit on the news is negative? Because most people enjoy watching the misery of others.

You're right; not a problem for ECCIE. Only a problem for those who wish to discuss what isn't here, and for that we should be thankful.
I can commiserate. My degree is in journalism. Many years ago I was also a reporter for a couple of newspapers, a magazine, and a radio station in California prior to moving to Texas, and have written some questionable news releases for public relations agencies and company press offices back here. All about manipulation of facts to put the best - or wost - image forward.
I prostitute myself LESS as a provider.
