Bad news for people who like bad news

This article is a little old but worth posting anyway. Journalists at a network of state owned radio stations in Russia must air 50% or more good news. On the plus side, weather can be considered good news and because Russians are fond of snow it seems like only the rainy days will be tough. In general, though, with salaries growing in all sectors and babies popping out at a rate sure to deal with the so-called demographic crisis, Russia's future is looking bright. I think that took care of my quotient for the day.
