Or, maybe report on some feel good stories for this time of year of people helping other people/putting others first before themselves.

Just my opinion.

I agree- not to hijack but no one cares about teenage sex trafficking. Probably because the victims are mostly brown and black poor girls, and the johns are normal middle class married men...

That isn't true. I hear about it everyday. I am affiliated with organizations that discuss it and there are TV shows about it.

And those of you who want to discuss those topics need to create threads and get out of this thread.

Overall, though- the media is obsessed with this Duck Drama. It was all over all of the TVs at the gym. The media loves stuff like this. They would rather gossip about what someone said than real issues in our country. This is non-news.

JMO. I'm glad you are involved with those organizations.
