Mixed news, Part II

Hi,

We have said that one recites berachot for good news and for bad news in response to events which have mixed results.

However, if the sense of joy entirely overwhelms the sense of sadness, or the sense of sadness entirely overwhelms the sense of joy, then one only recites the blessing for the major reaction.

(Hagahot R' Akiva Eiger Orach Chaim 222:2)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
