At any given time in the United States of America, there are over 300 million people. You can find any behavior of any kind from
those 300 million and report it. Any kind from the very kindest to the very meanest. From the nuttest to the most focused and careing. From the most reasonable to the most bizarre.,,
From the worst kind of lies, to the most honest thoughts. From the very smartest to the very dumbest.

If you want to report some behavior, just look hard enough..it is there... and it is ok to report it.

important addition:
This rule applies also for any country with a large population.
(or any country with humans for that matter... )

The ten countries with the largest population in world are:
China, India, United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan,
Bangladesh, Nigeria, Russia and Japan.

1. If you look at news reporting compared to what it was

back in the 70's, it's totally different. Like when there is a missing kid or girl. We hear about everyone of them now. Is it really anymore common now? It sure seems like it but probably not so much.

It used to be your local paper in the northwest run an AP story about some kid missing in the south. Half-hour evening news broadcasts didn't have time for all of them. You'd eventually read about some of them if it was sensational enough but it wasn't 24/7 like today.

You also see about every report of a gun owner defending their home, usually accompanied by the claim that it wasn't reported in the media. If it wasn't reported in the media, how did the poster get ahold of it? Usually from the media link they include. They are just dissapointed that we weren't bombarded with an example of their favorite issue.

2. I don't get it.

You explained the journalistic behavior you didn't like but didn't define the rule.

So, is it:

Journalist can't report outlandish behavior?

Don't report behavior unless there are a million people or more doing it?

Include estimates of how often a behavior occurs when reporting?

3. "dirty Laundry"

"We all know that crap is king"

Missing attractive white females and children. High profile crimes commited by black men. Now it's Iraq vets going nuts ala Rambo. Anything to make the timid voters beg to suck on the pacifier of the police state.
