Extending this, news wouldn’t exist in its current form.

Broadcasts would be much more honest too:

“Hello everyone. There’s a pandemic sweeping the globe, which is unfortunate, but also cancer outcomes are the best they’ve ever been. Overall things are getting better.

Enjoy your weekend and we’ll be back on Monday. If something genuinely important changes. Otherwise, take a walk and maybe get some fresh air instead.
