Negative sells---good example is all the negative political ads which are half truths at best or statements taken out of context. The on-line news does give another perspective which is not always printed in the Happy paper. Although, In the last eight years I've seen a bit of change in the Happy paper. I like to read both and also a couple of other Newspapers two or three times a week.

Unfortunately, some only get a narrow one-sided perspective of a "spin" on what is happening on the local and national scene. Also, they tune their television to only one cable news channel. It's difficult to really be informed that way.
