How to fix the "NEWS"

Do you, our OPEN MINDFUL readership keep up with the NEWS? I do.
Personally, I get my news from Cable Television channels, such as CNN, Headline News, etc, and the Local stations. In addition, I also consume and read news via twitter and facebook. As far as the best and most unbiased, honest news source, I highly recommend the AP (Associated Press)
Here are the problems, and suggestions I have for the news networks and media sources in general.
1. We do not care about crime. Please do not glorify, or even cover crime. The 15 seconds of fame for these hate mongers, criminals, and murderers should cease. There is a reason, we intelligent citizens research safe neighborhoods and then decide to live in them. We moral souls, loathe crime and do not want any of our physical senses wasted on it. Stop covering crime!
2. Start Highlighting the success, failures and tribulations of American Entrepreneurship, the business world, and our local economies. Each media source should highlight a differnet business each week or daily. For example, report on a tech start-up, new restaurant, real estate company, etc. This business news coverage would inform consumers and further enhance the businesses themselves.
3. Quit, please, quit covering cities and geographic areas with horrible weather. Everyone in the world knows the weather is freaking terrible, cold and awful in the Northeast section of the United States, and probably the Midwest too. Those areas are windy, cold, snowy dark holes. This is not NEWS. These regions have had awful weather since colonization time. There are 50 states, those people should use their freedom & just dam move. On the the flip side, you don't see national news featuring the All Star sunny, mild, welcoming weather of California, Florida, Texas and Arizona? Unless the weather has potential to cause real danger to human life, find another story.
Thanks for reading my rants, opinions, and suggestions on how to improve the news. I would like to continue to read the news, and not give up on it. I think, most Americans would like to be informed and current on relevant real news and topics. We yearn to like you. So dear news, please start covering some. Also remember to be OPEN MINDFUL to new methods to consume news. Has the print edition newspaper gone the way of the buffalo yet? Is it still profitable and around? In our evolving digital world, let's embrace unique thought and happenings in the world.
Here's an idea, how about people learn from the news and from other people's mistakes. I try to. You've read those idiotic news stories, and been happily reminded, at least I'm not that inept.
Thanks for your time and don't forget to recommend the OPEN MINDFUL #1 ranked google search blog to your friends, family and co-workers.

What does being Open Mindful mean to you???

Image
Liberal and Open Minded to me almost seem to be pseudonyms. I would guess it could be possible to be conservative and open minded, just in my eyes those two ideals seem to be juxtaposed. What in my upbringing and brain, elicits this open minded worldly outlook, and positive, friendly mindset??? It could have either been my parental affluent hippie 60's upbringing or perhaps my University Liberal Arts Education, or yet again my 5 full years of daily life in Manhattan and the mecca that is New York City. What does being Liberal and Open Minded mean to you?? Personally I think of it as being accepting of many different lifestyle choices and varieties. For example, I am pro choice and pro abortion for women before the 2nd trimester. I am pro gay marriage, for both male and female sexes. Being a Free Speech & Born here American, I also believe in the freedom of style, culture, home location, choices in dating, restaurants, music, culture, movies, music and all. Anythi

MORALS.... Who is to Judge your Actions?

Image
As we've discussed recently, each person is individually, physically and intellectually unique. What are your personal MORALS? Do you even have them? Should we, are they necessary? Let's not confuse morals with simply following the LAW. It is understood that the USA is a wonderful, prosperous splendid country with a plethora of freedoms. Of course, we are asked and try our best to faithfully follow our country's law and rules. But what about MORALS? Are you OPEN MINDFUL to morality? Whom is to judge what is right and wrong? Personally I would say just follow the Golden Rule. Simply treat others as you would like to be treated, with respect and kindness. Does having morals induce a better life? Often times, the BEST MOMENTS in my life, have occurred while having fun, living life with NO SHAME, and not upholding to a moral compass. For example, whimsical nights of care-free fun, randomness, friends, and newness. I do believe it is immoral to cheat on a spouse or r

How do we get there? Open Mindful with Transportation?

Image
There are a number of ways, we as fellow humans transport ourselves from one destination to the other. Whether you are going somewhere for a work commute, visiting a friend's place, traveling, or exploring our world, there are a multitude of ways to get there. Let's discuss! Which method of movement is the most economical? efficient? Which mode of transportation is the coolest? the Healthiest? Some obvious transportation examples that come to mind include using a regular car, walking, train, bicycle, subway, plane, moped, motorcycle, cab, bus, boat, pedicab, limousine, hybrid car, the segway, and more I'm sure. Feel free to add on. What is your favorite or preferred method? Recently I asked a client if she minded the windy drive to a particular neighborhood. She proclaimed, it was fair, pleasant, easy going & bearable. Personally, I am an avid believer & fan of walking. It would be my #1 vote for the best transportation method. With walking it is healthy and a
