Crisis as 'Good News' Blog Falls Out of Favour

Panic on the streets of London

It began life as a feel-good news site, reporting only the happy occurrences from around the world and leaving the doom and gloom to more established broadcasters. Early examples included a story about former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney's 70th birthday and another about gorillas using 'baby talk' sign language with their infants.

However, the mood at No More News Blues (num-nub for short) quickly turned sour as previously good-natured reports became bitter, sarcastic jibes chiefly about the weather.
Protests began this morning in the capital, with students demanding justice for long-term readers of the blog.

"It's basically just The Onion, but not as funny," commented one erstwhile reader.

"They used to be so happy," lamented another. "Now they give me the blues, like every other news source. They totally sold out, man."

Despite the backlash, readership figures today broke previous records for the site and are still on the rise.
