Gotta stay positive

• Hit and Run Homicide |
• Delaware Honors First 2006 Baby
• NW New Jersey Gets 8 " of Snow
• Teens Charged with Stealing Jesus
• Elderly Man Found in Willow Grove Lake
• Suspect Arrested in Local New Year's Rape
• Philly's 2nd 2006 Murder in Tioga

Yeah, those are top stories of WPVI's local news. Similar stories daily front the headlines for the site. There is no reporting on community fairs, developments, or other unnecessary positive things. If it bleeds, it leads. BTW, the 'big stories' of the day were about a murder at a future daycare, hitting 4 murders on the year, weather(newsflash, it's crappy out), the PSU-FSU game tonight at 8. At least the PSU game can be considered positive, if you're a Lions fan.

It's not just local. Here's the top stories from the CNN.com local news section for the Northeast:

PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA:
Woman dies after fall from window (WTAE)

PLATTSBURGH, NEW YORK:
Body of missing woman found in warehouse (WPTZ)

PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA:
Student killed in street fight after party (WTAE)

ROCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE:
Man fights off attackers in home invasion (WMUR)

A death, a missing body, a murder, and an attack. Lovely. Nothing good happened yesterday, folks. Nothing.

Go death! Go murder!
