(Anne Murray's song in 1983 still rings true, but I felt compelled to update her song with today's current events that have been plaguing my mind lately. If you have good news to share, please post in the comments below. I'd love to hear them.)
I logged on this morning
Looked at my Facebook news today
Anderson Cooper talked about the Orlando victims who passed away
Some scientist was warning us about climate change
It's gonna get worse each day, we need to change our dirty ways
Every news channel rushes to tell you their biased news
Facts aren’t important and they're out to scare you
Just once how I'd like to see the headline say
"Not much to print today, can't find nothin' bad to say", because
Nobody killed a family in a safe part of town
No small boy shot his sister with a laying gun around
Nobody had to break the law, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good news today
Every TV screen
Shows to me the world has stayed the same
Terrorists showing their hate, more bad leaders stay
How I want to see the news fill our hearts with happiness
And how we’ve cleaned up our mess
How everyone finds tenderness
Woah, tell me….
Nobody was burned alive in the Middle East today
And in the South China Sea, the countries weren’t in each other’s way
And anybody loves anybody no matter what others say
We sure could use a little good news today
Nobody killed a family in a safe part of town
No small boy shot his sister with a laying gun around
Nobody had to break the law, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good news today

Mimi, I couldn't agree more. One of the reasons I like CBS Sunday Morning is that, for the most part they actually have some good (or at least not bad) news to share.
