I am always glad when newscasts manage to make room for good news. The artificial structure of this newscast you heard may have been intentional for any number of reasons. There are certainly enough bad things happening in the world that could have swelled that newscast. So many I won't bother to enumerate them here.

Balance is useful, when a mix of good and bad are offered. That's why I listen to public radio (U.S.). They do a better job of giving what I consider true "news."
