Violence feeds us. News Stations LOVE feeding us.

wait wait wait wait WAIT let's take a quick step backwards. I read a few of these blogs and I see a reocurring problem- it's not about what Gangbangers contribute to our community, or how violence is an ongoing problem in our nation- LOL let's take a step further back and see the REAL issue.

NEWS STATIONS FEED US THIS S#%*@ !

Apart from your KIPP life, if you've ever actually lived a normal people day and watched the news for about an hour, you see the following:
1. Man gets shot
2. Building gets blown up
3. Some rapist dude is on the run
4. Celebrity is doing drugs again

SERIOUSLY. Personally, I think Fox 26 is the worst. At least Channel 13 has some cheesy segments for like, smart kids and Go Green Movements. But it's proof that not only do these stations broadcast such a narrow minded view of negativity, but us as the viewers give in and keep watching.

I know this ain't no legitimate site, but this is by far the best worded answer.
