LDS media vs National media

We all know when you watch the evening news you will primarily hear about negative things that have happened. And yes unfortunate circumstances do pop up, but I believe they are greatly outweighed by the good or the neutral. For every asshole who gets road rage and shoots somebody, there are 1,000 instances of somebody letting someone else in his lane.

For every scumbag who shoots his wife and dumps her in the trashbin, there are 1,000,000 instances of husbands complimenting their wives and kissing them goodnight.

Instead of reporting the negative things, the church reports the good things. LDS media aggregately follows the example of Gordon B. Hinckley who once said, "nobody ever went blind for looking on the bright side of things."

Crap does happen within the church, but for every missionary that sleeps in and masterbates, there are a hundred who get up on time and read their scriptures.
