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

People and their PETS.

In the style of Jerry Seinfeld, " What's the deal with people and their pets? Dogs especially. What is the mass human attraction to dogs as pets? What in the minds and soul attracts humans to caring for, paying, walking and being an owner for these animals? Please help me understand . I mean, in my humble opinion, the negatives for dogs are, they can't talk with humans. A dog will never be able to speak and converse with their owner. Also they must constantly be cared for, bathed, walked, fed, leashed, cleaned up after and more. What joy do these dogs and animals bring? In addition dogs cause destruction to real estate, & are tough to constantly care for. They also smell and are not universally loved or accepted by guests. Am I not being OPEN MINDFUL to dogs and pets? If so please share their positives for me. I am not perfect, and can recognize mistakes and being wrong. Some perhaps better alternatives to dogs, are, ready, friends, girlfriends, significant o

How are we ENTERTAINED?

DO you like to be entertained? IF your human, most people do and enjoy laughter, muses, lights and more. Just like the Kings and Jesters of yesteryear, in the modern age, we love ENTERTAINMENT too! Are you OPEN MINDFUL to different forms on entertainment? Which are your favorites? For example, off of the top of my head, I can think of books, live music, movies, television, broadway shows, bars & nightclubs, restaurants, stores, shopping malls, stand up comics, vacations, social media, friends, and the such. Am I leaving your favorite form out? Personally, I am open minded to various forms of entertainment. I love tv, live music, and nightlife. Yet, as the entertainment field changes and morphs, could be up for anything fresh? What are your favorite forms? Do you abstain from entertainment? Could this even be possible? In so as fas as an industry, would ENTERTAINMENT be fun to work in? Recently a fellow local Austinite, mentioned, I should try out ACTING for a year. It wa
