There are always a lot of good news. The goods news just don't make 'good news' for the news companies. Nobody wants to read that x metric is slightly better now, disaster was averted, or slight progress was made in world changing new technology. That doesn't sell subscriptions or bait clicks.

I do not disagree. Still, it is nice when some of it breaks through, and even nicer when it has to do with such an otherwise cold and unforgiving topic like this. Very good point tho!

Additionally, not all the good news ends up panning out. They might find later that this has significant other negative effects.
