In previous postings, I think I’ve harped on the fact that the news media, in general, seems bound and determined to get as much bad and sensational news on the air as possible. There’s no attempt to provide any semblance of balance in this regard. It permeates television, newspapers, the Internet, etc. This negative bias really grates on me. I want to read about or view some of the good things happening in this country and around the world. And there is a lot of good out there and it’s not all that hard to find.
What I’m going to do is start a new category called “Good News”. It’s going to feature a story about someone who’s doing something good out there. No parameters other than that. It can be an individual, a group, an organization or a company.
My first good news article is about a man named Jorge Munoz. I found an article about him on both the New York Times and the CNN websites. He’s just an ordinary guy but he’s doing extraordinary things. He’s a bus driver in New York but he spends most of his time cooking and delivering meals to the homeless. From what I read, he does this every night, seven days a week, 365 days a year. The links below will take you to the appropriate websites. If you want to read a heart-warming story about the human spirit, these two articles are definitely worth a look.
