“The news presents only the bad side of humanity, Mr. Blade, and it does it on a global scale. It doesn't report the millions of small, unreported acts of kindness that take place on a daily basis in communities. People help old ladies across the street, they bring their neighbors tea when they're sick. You don't hear about it because good news isn't entertainment, even though it's those deeds that hold society together. Bad news is a commodity and the media trade in that.” — Sarah Morgan
