Maybe I'm wrong; but I interpreted the post to "mean" that certain of the news media strive to increase readership and advertising revenue when, to use a twisted version of an old standard, they "accentuate the negative, play down the stuff that's positive." I don't believe that one can define a great country and it's time tested (sorry about the cliche) institutions by highlighting what folks see as weaknesses in the system, weaknesses which occur against a background of strength and stability. Problems are bound to happen in any complex political and social system, but they shouldn't be allowed to define the system.
