Being a fan of Google’s services; I have plenty of alerts setup that notify me of news as it happens near and around Tulsa, Oklahoma. Unfortunately, the news that seems to be appearing lately is absolutely horrible! Not that the quality of the news is less than desired — it is just the overall covered topics make me want to rip my eyes from my skull and step on them.
Have you realized that news is entirely negative? When was the last time you turned on the television and really witnessed a hour block of television focused entirely on the positive environment and scenarios happening in our city? Being that ThisTulsa.com is still a fairly new personable news source; I hereby promise that we will never cover more negative topics than we do positive.
This article spawns from a recent Google alert I received that contained 9/10 articles involving drugs, murder, violence or other crimes against humanity. Curious what is going on in our city? Setup a Google alert.

I too have this particular Google Alert setup and you’re right. The majority of them lately have only bad things to report.

Not only is it negative, but it’s boring most of the time as well. It’s the same old ladies calling about wild dogs and speeders. The cool stuff that I know about never shows up on the news.
