We generally look at the negative things leaders do, but not only leaders, but basically the world. The media chooses to show the negative parts of the world in order to keep people afraid. When they show Arabians, they normally will show some kind of crazy Arab screaming ”ALA”, when they’re are in fact A LOT of normal Arab’s who act just like the rest of the world. If people were only hearing about how good the world was doing, “oh john today got a promotion in his job, a small dog saved a cat from danger, and the Jefferson’s are now back on TV” people would get bored extremely fast and stop watching the news, but if people are afraid they’ll keep consuming to make sure they’re “safe” when the chaos of paranoia itself is probably causing more damage to the public than the actual threat. Some people express appreciation, but the majority of people prefer to put the blame on someone else, it's easier that way. I don't think there's anything we can do to change this, because we would have to change people's minds.
