Headlines, in a way, are what mislead you because bad news is a headline, and gradual improvement is not.

The bad news is that only the bad people reach the news because they are noisier.

In my experience , big words ornament bad news.

Bad news isn't wine. It doesn't improve with age.

The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do.

In nicey-nicey land, you must be happy-clappy and positive all the time - bad news is taboo.
