Do you know what the American people would really like to see on the news? How about a half hour show each week on what is going well in the economy and more positives about what is going right. Everyone I know does not want to turn on the news because it is all negative. We all know things are bad, but how about being pro-active and start talking about more positives. Things can turn just as quickly when banks start providing credit once more. Everything is not great, but by the same token, everything is not all gloom and doom. We all will only get out of this mess when we quit pointing fingers and start focusing and promoting what is going well.

Dennis – you are a genius. I agree with you completely. Why can't we have more positive news? I think the world would be a much better place for it. It seems the word 'news' translates to 'bad news'. What about it CNN? Want to put a little positive focus into your reports?
