Thank you David.  There are far more good people around than not, your story is a good reminder of that.

Your eyes are not lying to you. It is an easy trap to fall into! This trap that allows us to believe what we see on the news is the whole story. Well it CAN BE but many times ain't the whole story. Safe to say the realities of broadcasting and it's advertising fuel base dictate that good news, which is very common, is relegated to last or DNF. 
  My exact point is read and watch news carefully, accept that it is not always the whole story. (Why does J. Jonah Jamison dislike Spider-Man?) Believe your own eyes, they could be giving you more reality than a source that is driven to stay in business by finding and keeping more watchers, everyday. Their bottom line may not be the same as yours, ingest accordingly.
