Unfortunately it is only a “great” thing because it is the exception when it comes to the news. If this was everyday, we as a society would become complacent with the positive stories and complain that we shouldnt sugar coat everything. I think it is great but it would not sell on the news because it doesnt create political discussion or debate…its just great and noone can argue great…unless they are a total dick. ---

No…I just think that its the reason we dont see more positive news on the regular. They call them feelgood pieces for a reason. ---
