Honestly yeah. But I bet those are tumors.
yeah seems like even "good" news is all just "less orphans killed in orphan crushing machine" these days.
IT'S NAWT A TOOMAH
haha it suffered a slow and agenising death...
It doesn’t have to be fluff though. They could just report on any of the reduced disease or lower heart attacks than last year or whatever. There’s got to be some stats, even at a local level like in a town or something, where things are going well.
They should use that to balance the doom and gloom, not fluff pieces about squirrel butts.
the average american doesn't understand stats.
