It is a fact that the news mediums deal mainly in bad news. They cannot survive without keeping the public in a negative state so that concepts of fear or feelings of loss will cause them to buy more rags and newspapers or watch the news. Negativity IS their stock-in-trade. Happy thoughts and good deeds do not inspire attention to the news. It will remain that way until people come up in awareness enough to not buy into this game of rumor-mongering and fear-peddling. I sincerely hope that day will come. Meanwhile, I choose not to read or watch anything negative unless I need to know about it or can assist in changing it. It helps to keep me out of the game.
