Another problem of the news media that I have noticed in recent months is reporting about virtually every factory or company or corporation in the U.S. that is laying off workers. Some companies are laying off thousands of workers. I know because I have seen the headlines in the newspapers and seen it on television. The news media should not report every single layoff that is going on in the United States. It causes fear and doubt about the economy in the minds of the consumers.
People can handle only so much bad news.
The message I want the media and the public to get from this letter is that the news media need to reduce sharply the amount of information about school shootings and job layoffs. Their reporting of all these school shootings and job layoffs is getting ridiculous, and frankly I am sick of hearing about them. It is not bringing one ounce of happiness to the American people when they hear about this school shooting or that school shooting or about a company laying off 765 people. There are enough scary things going on in society without the media reporting the incidents of school shootings and job layoffs. There are good things going on in society that the public would like to know about so the media should change their focus on the negative and dwell on the positive.
