Rejected petition Prevent the media from spreading fear. Have more positive, solution based news.

The media bombards us from every angle with negative, non solution based reporting. We believe that the media should be held accountable and create more positive solution based news in order to stop fear and hatred from spreading throughout the country.

More details

Take a look at the front page of any newspaper on any given day. Fear, greed, hate, nlame and power struggles is the main topic of each front page.

I agree that the public should be made aware of what is happening in the world, but to bombard the people of the UK with negative news is only going to generate more fear and hate in the country.

I propose that the front pages of newspapers to be reserved for positive news that increase peoples compassion for one another, instead of fear and blame.
