The first story of the woman driver shot to death is the rotten apple in the barrel. The rest of the stories are better, and with broader appeal.

Just so you know, I'll probably never visit this site again because of that godawful story. It didn't enhance my life or my understanding of the world. It did the opposite.



I don't understand why you seem to have to much anger about this story.


No, it's only economics. Back to my analogy, if I buy a bag of apples from you and I find a few rotten ones inside, I'll never buy from you again. It's simple, really.


Nevertheless, if this site is just collecting general news into a feed, you can't call the story 'rotten' because you don't like it and don't find it edifying. It is news, it did happen, it was relevant to someone. I think your expectation of the purpose that news is supposed to serve might be somewhat skewed.

Fixed that for you. Also I'm not sure why you're so mad over that story. Most news doesn't enhance your life or your understanding of the world, it's just news. You have to put it in context to extract any meaning from it.


Light attracts light, darkness attracts darkness. If you can think metaphorically, you'll understand what this means.
