I love the news… I hate the news. I love being informed but can’t handle the news much these days. I will hear just a tidbit of a news story about a child who died and turn the channel. I don’t want my kids to listen to the non-ending CNN coverage of breaking news. Balloon Boy, Fort Hood, gang rape at school … it goes on and on.
My heart is broken as it is. It cracks more and more thinking of the suffering. Was there always this suffering and we just didn’t know it because of the absence of 24-hour news networks?
What about the people who the stories focus on? Now they are hot topics for Nancy Grace and the like.The more horrific the crime, the more she gets worked up, the higher the ratings are. Yet, there are those behind it all who are trying to tape their hearts back together with duct tape.
I have no idea where I am really going with this. Just turning the tv off for a bit, I suppose. Not to live with blinders on, but to keep my tape on for just a little bit longer.
