Bad-News

by Freddie

I really don’t like the news. I figured that out two years ago. I was watching the Today Show and I decided that it was really boring. It was a bunch of people talking about the history of Thanksgiving, which I already knew. And then they started talking about unimportant stuff, like the new IPhone. So I decided then that I absolutely hate the news, and went to get a doughnut.

I only like it for one reason, which is to figure out the sports scores. Sometimes if i’m in a taxi the news will be on. It will show the Mets scores from last night, and I’m a huge Mets and baseball fan so I really like to know what the scores from last night are. Otherwise I absolutely hate the news. Here’s some reasons.

    Reason 1: You hear about all the gun and bomb violence that happened the day before. I don’t really want to hear if someone got killed 12 hours ago. It’s sort of scary thinking that there might be someone really dangerous out there, and nobody knows where that person is.

    Reason 2: You hear about all the robbery that happened. Like if someone robbed all the money in the bank where you have your bank account, it might make you feel better if that the bank announces that all the money that has been stolen will be back in the bank in under a week than that.

Reason 3: On the Today Show you hear about useless stuff, like chalk hair dye. What’s the point of watching the news if you’re just going to hear about useless stuff?

Reason 4: It could give you an heart attack. Something really bad can happen. I heard that a hospital in Texas was open only for Ebola patients. So if you injure yourself then you won’t be able to see a doctor, and your injury  could get infected.

Reason 5: You might hear that your favorite sports player has been fined 1 million dollars.

Reason 6: You might hear that your favorite sports player has been taking drugs and got suspended for 2 weeks. If you never heard that he got banned, then you won’t even know that he was gone.

That’s 6 reasons why I hate the news, and only 1 reason why I like it, and the reason why I like it isn’t even always true! So that’s why I absolutely hate the news and never want to watch it ever again in my life.
