The media tends to focus on negative things. As do I. I'm not the most optimistic of people, I see things realistically, usually the more negative side of that reality. I wouldn't say I'm a full on pessimist though because I do have positive thoughts as well. I found this page interesting because maybe the reason myself and plenty of other people focus more on the negative side of reality is because the media, which surrounds us all at every moment, focuses on the negatives.

People tend to be attracted toward negative events and because of this the media puts all it's focus on the negative stories. If they get more views, they get more money. The reason the negative side is focused on more is just for this reason. Everything in today's society boils down to money.
