Has it always been like this?

From an American point of view ...

1960s. Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK assassinated, MLK assassinated
1970s. Stagnation, Opec, Vietnam, disco
1980s. Reagan shot, Stock market crash
1990s. Gulf war ("we can't fight in the desert. Iraqi's more experienced"), fall of USSR (concern over nukes and instability), impeachment of a president

Even crazier if you take a worldview.

From Vick's point of view

80's - Sex, Drugs and Rock N Roll
90's - Aids, Crack and Techno



Yes it has always been the so called bad news grabbing the headlines. I can't remember the name of it but a "good news" show was tried years ago and failed to garner ratings

So blame it on the general public - bad news sells and the market drives
