Is it really that bad?

Is anybody else sick of the negativity portrayed day in day out by the media and government on the news etc? I mean, they run down everybody bar themselves and wonder why people are fed up. I know these are hard times, but I do not believe it is all doom and gloom. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. Yeah, I may be naive, but I think there is hope and we need to see more of it not less thanks!
