Why does the evening news start with ''good evening''.....?

[ßℓαннн]

When they are obviously gonna tell us why it isn't? >.<

Would you rather them say, "You know what, life's a waste. All that ever happens is killing and everyone has malicious intent."?

 

[Da Sna - Ke]

Its a greeting. Its sort of like they are trying to wish you a good evening. It has nothing to do with good or bad news.

Good Evening, Today they killed this man, blew up this place, stole these things and destroyed this stuff.
Have a wonderful night! Please come back and join us in 30 min after the corney weather that is worth the crap, so we can tell you all about how many got murdered today, killed, rapped, mamed and slaughtered.

Thanks for joining us!

because good evening is a salutation.
