Where's the Good News?

Atrios is right:

Imagine if 30 people were killed every day by car bombs in US cities. Monday, 30 dead in Denver. Tuesday, 30 dead in San Francisco. Wednesday, 30 dead in Philadelphia....Now scale that roughly relative to population size. Make that 300 dead per day. Every day. Would the lead story on the evening news be about all the people who weren't blown up that day?
I don't know. Maybe people like Jeff Goldstein read newspapers where the headlines are Hundreds Have a Great Time at Seattle Rave and
Thousands Drive Through Wyoming Blizzard Without Injury.

[That's all, folks]
