The 'News' Is Mainly Abused

The word ‘news’
  is mainly abused
be it by digital wizards
  or print newsroom lizards  

Suitable for news
  in their narrow views
reports completely depressing --
  greed, hatred, murder, war 
    ~ rare, the story with a blessing 

Follow the news these days
  the sky is always dark gray
To find out about anything good
  take a walk ‘round your neighborhood
