Her first heartbreak, her first loss, that will change her life completely. *** Seventeen years later and April continues to visit the diner where her last memories of her mother live. Strangely, she decided to get a job there and some aren’t very fond of her decision. On multiple occasions, people would torment her and call her a freak for not having a mother as if it was her fault. Regardless, whenever catchy tunes played on the Jukebox April was always the first one singing and dancing to the music to pass time.

‘Beep’ I answered the intercom. “Mr. and Mrs. Taylor are here regarding their missing son” answered Sally, my assistant. I signaled her to send them in. They entered with a melancholy look on their faces. Hand in hand they had a puppy like look that I couldn’t say no to. So with comfort and reassurance I urged them to share their horrific story. The story was that Matt; the Taylor’s son was reported missing a few days ago. He was let go from school but never turned up at home.

During any breaking news segment on any 24 hour news coverage channel there seems to always be problems and mistakes that are made by reporters for not having the correct information on the story. Also when there is no significant stories to report on there seems to be a cycle of information that each news channel tries to throw at you.

So why do we have these problems and is it even good for the people of the United States to have twenty-four hour news channels?
