Out here, we have The Happy News (it's not called that; that's what we jokingly call it) because it totally spins the bad events of the area and does a lot of human interest.
I mentioned this to a friend who's in television and radio, and he was laughing, "Oh yeah, blame us!" and I asked him, point-blank, "If you had a choice between running the story of a happy Christian guy who wakes up, goes to work, comes home, has dinner with his family, read his kids a bedtime story, and one of a guy who says Jesus is coming next week and he has the bodies in his cellar to prove it, which would you show?"

He said he sure couldn't argue with that.
